“Aleatoric Art, a new web-based not-for-profit gallery featuring artists whose practice blends new-age ritual with old-fashioned automatism is emanating from Houston. The site’s author, J. Coleman Miller, says the site “began as a way for me to catalog artists who deal with chance methods in composition” and will be updated twice yearly. He invites submissions from artists who think they fit it’s criteria. From Zoran Zugic’s surrealist fantasies to Mike Bloom’s abstract watercolor blots, the spirit of Arp, Ernst and Cage is alive and kicking, all against a background music of gentle waterfalls.”
