Symmetry: A Call for Artists, Scientists and Arts Organizations

In 2025, we will welcome up to 15 collaborative teams, each composed of an artist, a scientist and a curator or arts producer, to join our next iteration of the Triangle Program, leading with a period of ideation around the theme of “symmetry.” During our inaugural Triangle Program, we learned the value of creating space for artists and scientists to expand their thinking together. This time, we are expanding the time frame for collaboration by introducing a new phase of the Triangle called Open Interval. Open Interval is designed to support a dedicated period of thought partnership and exploration between artists and scientists, facilitated by curators and arts producers who are passionate about the intersection of art and science. This program is an evolution of our partnership with Gibney Dance Studios, where we have seen the value of giving creative collaborations time to breathe without mandated outcomes. This expanded program extends beyond dance and choreography and invites artists from a variety of disciplines to apply. Symmetry has long been a source of study and inspiration in both art and science. Whether as a modeling constraint in computational research, a pattern in nature, a set of conceptual repetitions or a tool for precise measurement, we see symmetry all around us, all the time.
