Science and Art

My interest in the connections between physics, mathematics, and the visual arts originated in a collaboration with art historian Claude Cernuschi, a leading expert on Jackson Pollock. In the fall of 2007, we co-organized an exhibition Pollock Matters at the McMullen Museum of Art at °¬¿ÉÖ±²¥ College curated by Ellen Landau. We contributed two essays to the catalogue and wrote two more papers on Pollock later. In 2017, Roberto Zenit and I ran a workshop on Form in Art, Toys, and Games as a part of the research program on Growth, From, and Self-Organization at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) in Cambridge, UK, for which I served as the principal organizer. The program was accompanied by an art exhibition Form in Art: Art of Form, co-organized with Barry Phipps, Curator of Art at Churchill College. In March 2020, a roundtable discussion on Opportunities at the Intersection of Science and Art was hosted by INI and Churchill College, co-organized with David Abrahams, INI Director, and Barry Phipps, and sponsored by the NSF. The links below provide more details on these and related actives.
