When science, math and art are married, beautiful and thought-provoking work can result, especially when married couple Jiayi Young and Shih-Wen Young are the artists behind the work. In their latest endeavor, they explore the endless number of pi. Sometimes delicately and sometimes boldly, in two dimensions as well as three, they visually meditate on 3.14 and the interminable digits that follow it often minimally and abstractly. The exhibition includes a time-based installation that will begin at 6 p.m. during the preview and Second Saturday receptions, and at noon on Saturdays and Sundays through April 18.
