What happens when talented engineers are challenged to draw from their scientific mindsets and express themselves artistically? The end result is both calculating and fascinating. Featuring the distortion of time and space, students of the Albert Nerken School of Engineering produced artistic portfolios that illustrate both their creativity and technical training and, ultimately, how they view themselves and the world.

Gallery Hours: everyday 12 PM to 8 PM

 

Located in the Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery, 7 East 7th Street, 2nd Floor, between Third and Fourth Avenues
