210408: MUMOK Museum moderner Kunst
MUMOK – Museum moderner Kunst: Exact and Different – Art and Mathematics from Dürer to Sol LeWitt
Abundant and unlimited
Art and mathematics are interesting and boundless topics. The MUMOK exhibit focuses on minimalist and conceptual art from the 60s, with excursions to classic Modernism – ranging from De Stijl, Bauhaus to Constructivism. If it weren’t for an exhibition like this one, 19th century mathematical models to which Max Ernst, Naum Gabo, Antoine Pevsner and Ruth Vollmer make reference in their works, would remain hidden to the public and doze away in university collections. Squares, numerical formats, or infinity – all of these themes are dealt with at this exhibit, something which could, however, also be done in an unmathematical manner. 18th century presentations of mirror-experiments have little to do with this and themes concerning geometric forms during Dürer’s era (with printing blocks of stunning aesthetic quality) would deserve their own exhibit.
