Chromatologies is a festival of art and music curated by the artists Mark Fell and Matt Steel (also known as SND). It took place in Rotherham in 2010 and featured a wide array of International artists including Carsten Nicolai, Frank Bretschneider, Oval, Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Evol. The Chromatologies festival promotes a belief that art is primarily about experience, not understanding; about the act of seeing and hearing – not an intellectual analysis of what is seen or heard. The idea behind the design is derived from the meaning of the word 'chromatology' — the study of colour.
