Exhibition Statement: The
purpose of this exhibition is to bridge the gap between math and science and
art. These two ends of the social spectrum have been separated in minds of most
people; however, are they truly separate? This exhibition aims to abolish this
separation and to unite the two extremes of the human mind.

Conclusion
Throughout this project we have discovered that it is rather
difficult to find artists that match the theme of the gallery; especially if
the artists have to be within certain criteria. We also learned that it is
really important to understand the painting and how it fits into the topic as
well as being able to explain why that art work belongs within the theme.
Researching the artists and their paintings came quite naturally whereas
matching the paintings with the theme was a little more challenging. Throughout
this project we also had to deal with logistical problems such as finding time
to meet with all the "curators" in order to collaborate on the
progression of the exhibit. However, despite the challenges and difficulties,
we enjoyed being the curators due to the freedom involved with selecting the
art works as well as getting the opportunity to research certain works in more depth.
Despite each artist having their own experiences and motivations for painting,
sketching, or sculpting, we found that the underlying common theme in all these
works is to transmit a message or idea through the utilization of math and
science in art.
