Following Rockburne from her time at Black Mountain College in the 1950s, where she developed a lifelong interest in mathematical concepts such as topology and set theory, through her period as a member of the Judson Dance Theater to the present day and her continuing artistic practice, this volume sheds ... light on the mix of ... conceptual thinking and physicality that informs Rockburne's work. Never-before-published archival writings, studies, and drawings accompany essays that focus on different aspects of Rockburne's art, including her ... creative process, use of such nontraditional materials as chipboard, cup grease, paper, and linen, and the ways that Rockburne emphasizes subjectivity and emotion. ...

Mathematics from the visual world [videorecording] / by Starbird, Michael P.; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Bibliographic references included in course guidebook.Lectures by Michael Starbird.Presents lectures (each 30 minutes in length) by Michael Starbird, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. Presents a collection of topics that reveal the rich, wondrous structure of what we see around us. Patterns in nature are the source of our geometrical understanding of the world. Abstracting those patterns leads to concepts from classical geometry. Extensions of those and other ideas of form have created a landscape of mathematical ideas, including Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry groups, and graph theory.Not rated.DVD.
