Exhibition
As a continuation of the research program Illustration as a Mathematical Research Technique, the Maison Poincaré is proposing a group exhibition designed to offer museum visitors visibility to creations, works, prototypes and projects originating from the reflections of scientific participants, which may have started at this scientific meeting or, upstream, during encounters between scientists or with artists.
A call for project is open. This call is open to everyone, including artists, mathematicians and scientists from all countries wishing to contribute to this exhibition, whether or not they participate directly in the Illustration as a Mathematical Research Technique program. All formats (painting, sculpture, digital art, etc.) are welcome.
This exhibition will run from April 9 to July 25, 2026.
