SMALL THINGS
Group Show
Villa-Legodi Centre for Sculpture
The exhibition includes a range of models, The exhibition includes a range of models, maquettes, experiments,
and artworks which have led, or will lead, to largescale versions in the park.
At its heart is a curiosity about how different artists approach the transition from a model or maquette to realising larger work. For example, how do artists visualise their ideas, make informed decisions about the kinds of materials they want to use, or test the structural integrity of their work? What sort of changes can one anticipate in the process, and how important is it for artists to remain responsive to the site or context of exhibition, especially when exhibiting outdoors, in a less controlled environment? How important is it today, with the advent of 3D digital technologies, to be able to experiment materially, and what sort of consequences might the use of such digital renders have on the physical outcome?
Included on exhibition are works by Beth Diane Armstrong, Joni Brenner, Marco Cianfanelli, Richard John Forbes, Dean Hutton, Ebru Kurbak, Michele Mathison, Nandipha Mntambo, Farieda Nazier, Brett Rubin, and Sophia van Wyk
