Where Meet in the Bazinet Garden Lobby

Discover ways that scientific thought during the late 1950s and early 1960s informed Klein’s work and writing. Walker curatorial assistant Eric Crosby and Michel Janssen, associate professor of the history of science at the University of Minnesota, discuss the connections between Klein’s art and physics, astronomy, cosmology, and alchemy.

Join members of Alliance Française de Minneapolis/St. Paul in the Garden Café for a post-lecture conversation about Klein, en français.
