Opening its doors in April of 2025, CHAOS Contemporary Craft is located in the up and coming Gay Street District of Downtown Columbus, Ohio.

The gallery presents rotating solo and group exhibitions, featuring ceramics, glass, wood, fiber, art jewelry, metals, interactive digital installations, and much more.

Throughout art history, “craft” media (ceramics, textiles, glass, wood, and metalwork) were largely excluded from the contemporary art canon. Relegated to the realm of utility and domesticity, they were dismissed as "lesser" art forms in comparison to painting or traditional sculpture.

Blurring the lines between function and expression, artists working in alternative media today have reasserted their place within the contemporary art discourse. They use materiality as a language to explore heritage, politics, technology, and identity.

CHAOS champions artists who are pushing boundaries and charting new territory in craft media, marrying tradition with technology in ways that redefine what “craft” can be.

Founder and Director Margaret Wunderlich opened CHAOS Contemporary Craft after working for over a decade in contemporary art curation and retail, and five years in the auction world curating luxury goods, art, and antiques.

Her curatorial style is driven by a passion for connection, engagement, and questioning the status quo.

A USPAP compliant appraiser and member of the Appraiser’s Association of America, Wunderlich is devoted to collecting with intention and educating collectors on legacy options for their estate.

She regularly consults for individuals and organizations looking to manage their collections and make plans for the future.

Gallery Assistant Hillary Laus is an experienced and creative administrative professional with an extensive background in music, art, antiques, and collectibles. She supports all aspects of the gallery operations.
