>Random Molecules is an exhibition organised by the Undergrowth art collective to launch the sixth issue of Undergrowth Magazine. The new full colour book features art and writing about contemporary understandings of quantum mechanics and chaos theory, ecology, consciousness and other nodes of new edge science.

>The exhibiting artists in the ‘Random Molecules’ exhibition are in themselves random molecules in the Undergrowth network across Australia, interconnected by an interest in nature, politics, metaphysics and the shifting concepts of reality and culture at the beginning of the 21st Century. Their works reflect this interest, approaching it from a number of interesting directions, utilising a range of mediums such as painting, photography, digital media, illustration and printmaking.

>The ‘Random Molecules’ exhibition coincides with the launch of ‘Undergrowth #6 - Random Molecules’ featuring writing, comics, photography, painting, poetry and illustrations by Undergrowth artists from around Australia, including the work of Dan McKinlay, Rak Razam, Claire Wren, Tim Parish, Levin Daitschenko, Rebecca Fitzgibbons, Graham St John, Sean Wallace, Oliver Dunlop, Arrow, Rod Baker, Hatstand Pincer Movement, Gerhard Hilmann, Antonia Green, Sam Hoffman, Ben Mastwyk and more.

>Check out samples of the work already published on the Undergrowth site here.

>All artworks and copies of the magazine will be available for sale on the night.

>Thanks to Grown Fuel for their support in printing the Random Molecules book.
