"Proofs and Refutations" Exhibition
David Zwirner 19th Street
This event has ended.
This exhibition explores relationships between art and mathematics from the point of view of conjecture and criticism. Among the artworks on view, systems—some mathematical, some not—appear as a source of contradiction or point of argumentation, rather than as a paradigm of intellectual rigor or certainty. In some cases the work reflects the inherent limitations of mathematics. In others cases it makes space for an idiosyncratic or personal engagement with the subject and its forms.
