Exhibition of Algebraic Surfaces in the Vieux Port, Marseille
 

In 2015, CIRM, through its Jean-Morlet Chair programme, organized an  exhibition called  « Mathématiques vivantes et visuelles » (Living and Visual Mathematics). It was developed with the help of the « Imaginary » programme and took place in Marseille on 20-22 March 2015 at the Vieux-Port under Norman Foster’s emblematic construction, the ‘Ombrière’.

This event launched IMAGINARY-France and the French version of the IMAGINARY website. The chosen exhibits in Marseille included in particular some  « Algebraic Surfaces » proposed by Herwig Hauser, one of the main contributors to IMAGINARY, who happened to be the holder of the Jean-Morlet Chair semester at the time of the exhibition.
