I would suggest DIA Beacon as an excellent destination for a day trip for any math art enthusiast. They have an excellent selection of Sol LeWitt’s wall drawings currently on view. It is the home of DIA Beacon, a museum dedicated to displaying long-term, large-scale gallery presentations of single artist displays, with emphasis on conceptual art and minimalist work. A small city north of New York City, situated on the Hudson River. I will be there to participate in the discussion about the relationships between mathematics and art. On June 1st from 2-4 at Matteawan Gallery there will be an artist talk and closing reception for “The Eros of Mathematics”. By making some of the lines darker and more pronounced, Talvacchio allows a simplified but elegant pattern to emerge.
