ELENA VORONINA FOR NEW FACES
"The farther, the art becomes more scientific, and science more artistic: having parted at the base, they will meet someday at the top," wrote the famous French writer Gustave Flaubert two centuries ago. And, although art and science know many examples of joint cooperation, such a synthesis is still not common among contemporary Russian artists. The West has a different attitude towards this partnership. We were convinced of this by visiting with the first year students of the AUCA Innovation College at the exhibition "Universe as Experience" by a contemporary American artist, astrophysicist by education Rafael Vargas-Suarez (Universal), which is currently unfolding in one of halls of the National Museum of Fine Arts named after Gapar Aitiev.
