Margaret Wertheim in the” Fohr Satellite Reef”- at the Museum Kunste der Westkuste, Fohr Germany, 2012.<\/p><\/div>\n

The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign<\/strong>\u00a0is making a community based Satellite Reef.<\/p>\n

On Thursday September 17, 2020, Margaret Wertheim will launch the latest addition to the ever-evolving archipelago of Satellite Reefs with an artists’ talk about this global community-art-happening in the context of the overall\u00a0Crochet Coral Reef<\/em> <\/strong>project.<\/p>\n

Following up, on Tuesday September 22, Wertheim will lead a workshop about crochet-coral making and the mathematics of hyperbolic geometry underlying\u00a0Crochet Reef<\/em> forms. From the crenelated surfaces of living coral organisms to the structure of the cosmos, nature abounds in non-Euclidean formations. Weaving a thread via\u00a0domestic female craft from sea slugs to spacetime, Wertheim will explore resonances of geometry in nature and ask “What does it mean to know mathematics?”<\/p>\n

Lecture Date:<\/strong> 09\/17\/2020 5:30pm CDT<\/p>\n

Workshop Date:<\/strong> 09\/22\/2020 2:30pm CDT<\/p>\n

Both events will be held live on Zoom.<\/p>\n

The Urbana-Champaign Satellite Reef<\/strong><\/a> is hosted by the Department of Art and Design, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Satellite Reef co-ordinators: Guen Montgomery and Jennifer Bergmark.<\/p>\n
