The aperiodic tilings exhibition will include artwork, sculptures, 3D printing, musical art and hands-on activities produced by academics and artists. The exhibition will be open to school parties and members of the public. Aperiodic tilings are mathematical tilings that have no periodic structure. They have deep mathematical properties which are used in physics to model quasicrystals.The exhibition and accompanying workshop will be open to the public from 3pm until 5pm on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th June. At 5pm each day there will be a talk from one of the exhibiting artists. Note: you can book onto a 3pm slot for entry between 3 and 4pm, or a 4pm slot for entry between 4 and 5pm.
