“ART FROM MATH, MATH AS ART”
Roberta Allen, Niles Cruz, Robert Fathauer, Susan Happersett, Roland de Jong-Orlando, Sharol Nau, Dick Termes
Artists have been drawn to mathematical concepts such as order, fractals, chaos, and patterns for centuries. In the early fifteenth century, architect, engineer, and sculptor Brunelleschi (Filippo Di Ser Brunellesco) devised formulas for linear perspective. In this exhibit, seven artists explore math concepts and phenomena through art. Read short bios on each of the artists.

For one academic year, they can use St. Olaf College facilities and tap into the expertise of the professors as they prepare portfolios for further studies or explorations of the arts.
