Geometry the Shape of Things

An Online Exhibition

About the Call

While geometry has been, from ancient times to the present, a means of achieving artistic effect, it was only during the rise of modernism that it became an end in itself. Artists from a variety of movements and countries—Cubist, Dada, and Russian avant- garde artists of the 1910s and 1920s—created worlds of abstracted shapes and off- kilter planes; post-war artists from Rio de Janeiro to Paris investigated line, color, and pure form; artists today use traditional means and novel technologies to investigate geometric form. In Geometry: The Shape of Things, SiteBrooklyn is looking for works, across all mediums, that continue to develop geometry to understand form, shape, and space.
