Bridges Images: Connections of Mathematics and Art
A souvenir booklet for the Bridges London 2006 Conference.
The booklet was edited by Phillip Kent, who can be contacted for any further information. Production and printing of this booklet was made possible by the generous financial support of the Clothworkers' Foundation, London.
Design of the booklet was by Richard Reeve Design.
Copies of the booklet are available for free in bulk to any mathematics-related organisation that can distribute them to the public. Please ask.
To find out more - Introduction
To see further images by Bridges artists, the following website records the artworks exhibited by more than 60 artists at the 2006 conference: www.bridgesmathart.org/art-exhibits/bridges06/bridges06.html.
Selected artworks from past conferences (1998 - 2005) can also be seen at www.bridgesmathart.org . The same site carries information about the Bridges organisation in general, and the forthcoming annual conference.
Many Bridges artists write about their work in the Bridges Conference Proceedings, published each year. Copies of the Proceedings can be bought online at www.tarquinbooks.com (UK) and www.mathartfun.com (USA).
