[Phillip Kent]

** PLEASE CIRCULATE ** ALL WELCOME **

MATHS-ART SHOW AND TELL
An LKL Maths-Art event
Thursday 9th February 2012, 6.00 - 7.30pm 

This will be an open event where everyone is invited to contribute.

Choose one of your favourite images, objects, books, stories, poems,
websites, or computer programs. Something that, for you, makes a
connection between mathematics and art. 

You have 5 minutes to SHOW what you have chosen and TELL why it is
important to YOUR ideas about mathematics and art - which do not have to
agree with anyone else's ideas!

Contributions already received include: Crova's Disk and Marcel Duchamp;
Hexagonal weaving; Perspective painting; Islamic architectural
decoration; TurtleArt and a surprising polygon construction.

If you already know what you want to show-and-tell, please let us know.
If not, feel free to turn up on the night and give it a go! We look
forward to a stimulating evening.

TIME: 6.00 to 7.30pm
PLACE: London Knowledge Lab, 23-29 Emerald St, London, WC1N 3QS
