Extended until June 2025 – Conrad Shawcross: Cascading Principles: Expansions within Geometry, Philosophy, and Interference at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford

This exhibition brings together more than 35 sculptures realised by the artist over the last 17 years. These pieces, placed across three floors, will co-exist with the Institute’s unique architecture and the intellectual concerns of its occupants as explorers at the boundaries of knowledge. 

The artworks are placed in public and private areas, forming a web of relationships and correspondences which emerge as the viewer moves through the building. Activating various sites, from Paradigms in the reception area to vitrines containing Perimeter Studies in the study and lecture space, these pieces enter into dialogue with the Institute’s everyday use.
