Exhibition by invited artworks
The world celebrates the centenary of the General Theory of Relativity in 2016. The actuality of the exhibition is that GTR was the first theory which applied non-Euclidean geometry in one of the sciences. That application gave an impetus to the further development of geometry, physics, other exact sciences and, of course, inspired artists. The exhibition presents a look inside, how are these developments reflected in the arts after a century.
2 Symmetries in the arts
