Craft in the Laboratory: Exploring the Intersection of Art, Science, and Math

Craft in the Laboratory is an exciting exhibition at the Mint Museum, which highlights the creative and innovative ways in which craft artists and designers use science and math concepts when creating their artworks. This long-awaited exhibition is the first of its kind in the Southeast, and it features an impressive collection of around 100 objects, including recent acquisitions, from the Mint’s extensive collection. The exhibition will end before the end of the year – so this your last chance to visit. 

Curated by the Mint’s Annie Carlano and Rebecca Elliot, this exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in art, design, science, and math. The exhibition showcases a diverse range of artworks made from a vast array of materials like precious metals, wood, steel, and polymers. These materials serve as a basis for exploring how artists incorporate scientific and mathematical principles into their work.

Each piece in the exhibition offers a unique perspective on the intersection between science, math, and art. Some of the recent acquisitions on display include works by Simone Elizabeth Saunders, Jomo Tariku, and Patrick Norguet who have used their knowledge of these subjects to create stunning pieces of art. The exhibition also features a range of other artists, such as Kate Malone, Brent Kington, Susan Point, and Laura Kishimoto, whose works have utilized various scientific and mathematical techniques when creating their pieces.

The exhibition will run from February to December of 2023, giving art lovers ample time to visit and explore the range of artworks on display. Visitors can also expect to receive a comprehensive catalog of the exhibition, which will further enhance their understanding of the featured artworks.

In summary, Craft in the Laboratory is an exciting exhibition that offers a unique look at the intersection between art, science, and math. Visitors should expect to see a diverse range of artworks that highlight how artists and designers use scientific and mathematical concepts to create their pieces. This exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world of art, science, and math.
