Visual Arts, Physics & Chemistry

In the exhibition “Geometry of Light, Franklin Bault’s imagination is inspired by physics and chemistry.

Light, the structure of atoms, and the structure of molecules are all themes that permeate this artistic project presented at the Richter University Library.

In this exhibition, the properties of light resonate with those of color. Through a series of sculptures—or, more precisely, assemblages—the artist explores scientific hypotheses regarding the structure of atoms, as summarized in Mendeleev’s periodic table.

This exhibition is the result of discussions with chemists, cultural project managers and their teams, technicians, and gallery owners.
It is also a dialogue with a specific venue: the University Library.

Open to everyone, this exhibition also offers an opportunity for the public to engage with science, sculpture, painting, and, of course, installation art.
