The Simons Center Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of The Art of Science: Selections from the Collection, featuring work by scientists and artists who have exhibited their work at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics.
Real and imagined science, visualized by mathematicians, physicists, and artists alike, is on display in the gallery. The art includes a dazzling array of ideas and forms inspired by physics, geometry, neuroscience, and ethnographic traditions. Evident in this work is that while there are endless distinctions in these human endeavors in science and art, they both share a great curiosity to see the world in new ways and to convey that vision.
The sixteen scientists and artists contributing to the exhibition are Nikolay Bogoliubov, Insup Choi, Jean-François Dars, Eric J. Heller, Avi Ma’ayan, Gary Matthews, Dan Meyer, Ryan and Trevor Oakes, Anthony Phillips, Prithviraj “Raj” Rajebhosale, Elena Sanchez-Rodriguez, Xiwei Shan, Claudia Silva, Frédérique Swist and Jacqueline Thomas.
