M.C. Escher Exhibit at the MOA Transports Visitors to Other Worlds

November 16, 2017 12:00 AM
M.C. Escher: Other Worlds will be on display from Nov. 17, 2017 - May 19, 2018 A new exhibit opening at the BYU Museum of Art will feature the mind-bending works and worlds of M.C. Escher. Even if visitors have never heard his name before, it is likely they have seen his mathematics inspired works. What fewer people are familiar with is the musical inspiration behind the prints that will be on display. In order to show this connection, the museum has brought in a Bösendorfer piano equipped with Disklavier technology which will play pieces recorded by students from the School of Music. An in-depth article on the exhibit can be read in the Daily Herald here.
