    Mathematics, A Beautiful Elsewhere

    Mathematics: A Beautiful Elsewhere is a unique exhibition created by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain with the aim of offering visitors, to use the mathematician Alexandre Grothendieck’s expression, “a sudden change of scenery.” The Fondation Cartier has opened its doors to the community of mathematicians and invited a number of artists to accompany them. They are the artisans and thinkers, the explorers and builders of this exhibition.

    Mathematics for Everyone?

    On January 30-31, 2012 the French National Commission for UNESCO will be organizing, in association with the Fondation Cartier and IHÉS, a symposium on the role of mathematics in our everyday environment, exploring issues such as teaching, finance, and the life sciences. The departure point for this symposium will be the exhibition as a possible experiment in helping to spread interest in the discipline.
