Series and repetition are distinct yet related terms. Repetition is the reproduction of an object, shape, sound, theme, or anything else throughout a work; series, or seriality, is the recurring or repeating combination of these elements under a set or rules. What they share is a focus on the elaboration of repeated elements, which has given rise to some of the most momentous shifts in art history: the classical arabesque and its calligraphic development in the arts of the Islamic world; serial photography and the development of the moving image; minimalist and pop art constructions based on the techniques of mass production. The richness and multidimensional use of series and repetition have given artists the ability to use order and structure while maintaining freedom and the ability to experiment. Site:Brookyln called for works that contribute to this expansive and complex history.
