One thing you should know about me: I was never good at math. Retail math? Mastered that. Any other math besides addition and attraction? Not so much.
In spite of this, that never stopped my fascination with the subject. Now that curiosity is coming to life in an exhibition. The Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris is presenting Mathematics: A Beautiful Elsewhere. It is open to the public and will be a completely unique and interactive experience. The idea came to fruition with the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques and is being presented under the patronage of UNESCO.
World-renowned mathematicians and artists will be on hand to bring mathematics to life including David Lynch, Patti Smith, Raymond Depardon and Claudine Nougaret and more.
