​

In November 1973 the Woman’s Building of Los Angeles opened its doors to become the first institution dedicated to the creation of a “new art community built from the lives, feelings, and needs of women.” The quintessence of its founding was the Feminist Studio Workshop, an art program established by three prominent figures in the emerging women’s art movement: painter Judy Chicago, graphic designer Sheila de Bretteville, and art historian Arlene Raven. Under the tutelage of these three women and with the help of several other vital figures of feminism and art, hundreds of women were provided with the opportunity to define their own experience of female identity through the exploration of art.

"Ars Combinatoria and the Book"

by Janet Zweig

In mathematics, combinatorics is often described as “the art of counting.” The devices of this art are permutation, combination, and variation. For permutation, all the elements within a set are reshuffled, as in an anagram. For combination, some of the elements of the set are taken out to form a subset. Variations are permutations with repetitions allowed, opening the possibility of infinite incarnations.  Outside of the realm of mathematics, there has always been something creatively compelling about combinatorics.
