Steven Muller Artist-Scholar Lecture with Professor Susan Goldstine, Feb. 21

"Fundamental Regions: The Math/Art of Susan Goldstine" A Steven Muller Distinguished Professor in the Sciences Event We invite you to experience the visual arts through the intellectual practice of mathematics with Susan Goldstine, 2019-2022 Steven Muller Distinguished Professor in the Sciences. Professor Goldstine will give her Artist/Scholar's Muller Lecture on Monday February 21 at the Boyden Gallery and Upper Montgomery Commons in Montgomery Hall.  Goldstine’s scholarship shows that symmetry is a way of transforming an object or system that preserves its essential structure through making artworks. The transformation sparks the process of scholarly and artistic discovery in creating mathematical ideas in physical form. As the tangible manifestation of this intangible process, the artworks on display are organized into three mathematical themes that help shape context and space. Follow the sequence in the seven artworks in “Growth,” observe the common structure in the thirteen works in “Symmetry,” and investigate the inspirations provided by a set of famous theorems about maps through the five artworks in “Topology.” We encourage you to search for the overarching theme of distilling complex systems down to their essences in textures, shapes, shadows, and movement in “Fundamental Regions.” Boyden Gallery is located on the 2nd floor of the St. Mary's College of Maryland campus. The exhibition "Fundamental Regions: The Math/Art of Susan Goldstine is on view through March 12, 2022.
