Mathematical Sculptures by Alex Feingold
I have a strong interest in sculptures, especially those related to mathematics, and
I have made some in stone, bronze and wood. Here are links to webpages showing my work,
and links to the artists who have inspired and influenced me. You can also follow the
following link to an
Artist's Statement Revised 2-1-2017
which I have written.
In January, 2018, the Department of Mathematical Sciences provided me with a large glass display case
in which I have set up a permanent exhibition of many of my mathematical sculptures. It is located in the
lobby of Whitney Hall.
In December 2017, three of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Art Mission, Prospect Street in downtown Binghamton. Unfortunately,
in early 2018 the Art Mission/Art Theater closed.
In March and April 2017, a large exhibition of many of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
5 Riverside Towers Art Gallery, 5 Riverside Drive
in downtown Binghamton.
In December 2016, three of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Art Mission, Prospect Street in downtown Binghamton.
From December 3 - 30, 2015, two of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Art Mission, Prospect Street in downtown Binghamton.
From September 8 - October 29, 2015, some of my sculptures are on exhibition at the
Broome County Public Library, on Court Street in downtown Binghamton.
Starting in Fall 2014 I have been working with a 3D graphics program, Rhino for Mac, to make a computer
model of a figure 8 knot whose cross section is a triangle with concave sides (close to a hypocycloid) where
the triangle rotates slightly as it goes around the curve so that when it comes back to the start, it has
rotated just 120 degrees. That means there is only one edge and one surface, like a Mobius strip. I have made
such sculptures in bronze before in a large size, most recently in Spring 2014, but my goal was to use 3D
printing to make it accurately in a small size for jewelry. Pictures of the results, and of other 3D printed
sculptures I designed, can be seen on my webpages:
Sculptures Fall 2014
and
Sculptures Spring 2015.
In summer 2014 I donated one of my bronze cast sculptures, a Mobius Trefoil Knot, to the Albert Einstein
Institute (AEI), also called the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, in Potsdam/Golm, Germany.
During my visit, June 1-16, 2015, there was a dedication ceremony, showing how it had been mounted on a
specially made wooden pedestal, with a plaque showing the title of the piece, the donor, and a few words.
There are some pictures on my webpage
Sculptures Spring 2015
showing the mounted sculpture, and some of the dedication ceremony, conducted by Prof. Hermann Nicolai,
my good friend, collaborator, and a director of AEI.
In Spring 2014 I made a bronze sculpture based on the logo of the Institut Hautes des Etudes Scientifique (IHES),
Bures-Sur-Yvette, France, and donated it to IHES in graditude for the research support they gave me the last three
summers. It was made by bending a 1/4" diameter bronze rod 96" long. A picture of the sculpture and a graphic of
the logo on which it was based are shown on my webpage:
Sculptures Spring 2014.
From December 3, 2014 - January 29, 2015, two of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Art Mission, Prospect Street in downtown Binghamton.
From September 4 - October 31, 2014, some of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Broome County Public Library on Court Street in downtown Binghamton.
From January 8 - February 7, 2014, two of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Art Mission, Prospect Street in downtown Binghamton.
From December 3 - 27, 2012, some of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Art Mission, Prospect Street in downtown Binghamton.
From June 1 - July 27, 2012, some of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Broome County Public Library on Court Street in downtown Binghamton.
One of my bronze sculptures from Fall 2010, a 12" diameter bronze torus (3,5) knot mounted on a bluestone
base over a spherical mirror, was selected for the
2011 Roberson Regional Art Exhibition,
and will be on display at the
Roberson Museum and Science Center,
located at 30 Front Street, Binghamton, NY, 13905, during
July 9 - October 16, 2011.
From September 1-30, 2010, some of my sculptures were on exhibition at the
Broome County Public Library on Court Street in downtown Binghamton.
From June 9-27, 2010, eleven of my kinetic sound sculptures will be on exhibition
in the lobby of the Know Theater, located at
74 Carroll Street, Binghamton, NY. This exhibition was selected to compliment their
current production, ``Black Comedy" by Peter Shaffer.
On September 4, 2009, 7 - 9 PM, in the lobby of the Downtown Campus of Binghamton
University, I exhibited 19 of my sculptures as part of the First Friday Art Walk. The
sculptures shown included many of my kinetic sound sculptures, some in the style of
Harry Bertoia, both bronze and steel examples, and some others based on knot theory. This was
my first solo exhibition, and I want to thank Jennifer Keegin, Associate Director of
Campus Life for Campus Activities, for her help in arranging this exhibition, and Prof.
Jim Stark for the use of his pedestals for the display of the artwork.
The 11th annual Bridges conference took place in the birthplace of M. C. Escher,
Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, July 24-28, 2008, with a Mathematical Art Public Activity Day
on July 29. The Bridges conferences are a literal bridge between mathematics, music, art,
architecture and culture, and include an exhibition for 2D and 3D mathematical art.
Four of my sculptures were submitted and accepted for the exhibition, but could not
attending conference so I am sent pictures of them. This link takes you to the list
of artists who participated in the exhibition, and includes links to pictures of their
work:
Bridges 2008 Artists.
The following link to the conference website has many interesting links to previous conferences,
and to mathematical art on the internet:
Bridges Conference 2008.
Two of my kinetic sound sculptures were in the Members Exhibition Dec. 7-28, 2007 at the
Art Mission in Binghamton, NY. Another bronze sculpture
of mine is part of their Members Exhibition Dec. 5-28, 2008.
One of my sculptures was exhibited November 1 - 4, 2007, at the Center Gallery at the
University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, in an exhibition ``Rhythm of Structure: Beyond the
Mathematics", curated by John Sims as part of the conference
Knotting Mathematics and Art:
A Conference in Low Dimensional Topology and Mathematical Art. You can see pictures I took
of the pieces in the exhibition, and pictures I took at the conference, by following the link:
Knot Art Conference Pictures.
Four of my sculptures were exhibited May 3 - 24, 2007, at the
Altered Esthetics Gallery
in Minneapolis, MN, during their show ``Art For The Other Senses". A write-up about the
exhibition which mentions my kinetic sound sculptures can be found at the following link:

I had been a serious ice skater (figure skating, not hockey!) since 1968. I was a member
of United States Figure Skating, and for a time I was a member of the Professional Skaters Association.
From 1979 until 2022, I was a member of the
Binghamton Figure Skating Club.
For many years I served as President of the BFSC, sometimes as Vice-President or on the Board of Governors,
and I have been a volunteer instructor in the Learn-to-Skate USA program run by the club.
In March 2020 the SUNY Broome Ice Center, where the BFSC skated, was closed due to COVID, so I did not skate
for about 18 months. Upon reopening of that rink, I tried to skate again, but found I had lost a lot of my
stamina and balance. But I also found that my feet could not tolerate being in the boots for more than 40
minutes because of a nerve problem. That time grew shorter during September 2021, and on Oct. 9, 2021, I could
only skate for 15 minutes, so I realized it was not worth trying anymore. I hoped that the problem would go
away by itself, but apparently could only be treated by a nerve cutting surgery. Other issues had caused me to
stop serving as BFSC president or officer, so in April 2022 I resigned my membership in the club. After 54
years of figure skating, I decided to just stop. The sport has been a huge part of my life, affording me great
opportunities for personal growth, physical and mental challenges, and wonderful friendships.
The link in the heading above this paragraph goes to a webpage where I have put my
skating resume and some pictures.

Solomon Mandelkern
was a famous biblical scholar, known for writing a concordance of the
bible (Old Testiment). He is a distant relative of mine, and my father, Bernard Feingold,
did a lot of research on Mandelkern's life and wrote a short biography which was published
in an issue of the Jewish Historical Society of Maryland. A scaned copy of that article is
available through the link above.
My father, Bernard Feingold, a retired Brig. General in the Maryland National Guard, was also
very interested in military history, and helped to develop a museum at the Fifth Regiment Armory
in Baltimore, Maryland. He served as a director of the museum, and started the collection of items of
historical interest. The museum has considerably expanded since his passing in 1999.
