Quantified Aesthetics
March 12 – June 18, 2010
Numbers surround us. They mark our days, keep us on course, drive commerce and sustain civilization. The need to order our world is an innate human characteristic. From the mundane to the mystical, “Quantified Aesthetics” — a new exhibition from Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA) — examines the art of this practice through artworks featuring numbers, formulas, codes, counting systems and a variety of other mathematical organizational schemes. Artist’s books, prints and mixed media work by 45 artists from eight nations will be presented in this unique exploration, curated by MCBA’s artistic director Jeff Rathermel.
