The Institute For Figuring



Christine also co-directs The Institute For Figuring with her sister Margaret. The IFF organizes presentations and exhibitions on the intersections of art and science.

For the IFF, Christine has curated an exhibition of the work of Shea Zellweger, who has developed an alternative notation for deductive logic. The above picture is on eo the many wooden models Zellweger has made to render his conceptual system in plastic, embodied form. The exhibit is currently on display at the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles.

Currently The IFF is coordinating a Crochet Coral Reef, created by hundreds of women from around the world. Portions of this ever-evolving natural/cultural hybrid have been exhibited at the Andy Warhol Museum, and the Chicago Cultural Center. In April it will appear at NYU and the World Trade Building, NY, and in June at the Hayward Gallery, London.
