The exhibition takes place
at The Mechanical Soils Lab, Aras na Mac Leinn
NUIG campus. The launch will be on the
11th July 2-4pm and the show will run until
1st of August
The ties between art and
mathematics are closer than is often assumed.
This exhibition explores the
beauty that can be found in mathematics from both the artist’s and the
mathematician’s perspective.
John Holstead, the Kerry
based artist, has invited mathematicians from the School of Mathematics,
Statistics, and Applied Mathematics at NUIG to portray the beauty of their
subject to an audience in much the same way that an artist does when he/she
exhibits.
Dr. Aisling McCluskey, a
faculty member of the school, is overseeing the input of the mathematicians and
Dr Fiacre O Carbre of the Dept. of Mathematics at NUI Maynooth is on hand to
offer help and advice.
John Holstead has, for many
years, taken his inspiration from mathematics and science. Originally from Wakefield in
Yorkshire, Holstead made his home in Ventry on the Dingle peninsula some 40
years ago.
‘The Ventry Egg’, one of his
works that will be on shown in Galway, was made for and featured in the TG4
documentary, ‘Fearaibh Fionntrá’- ‘The Men of Ventry.
