documentary heritage
  • Other Name

    7 installations by 7 curators around the theme of the miniature (Alternate title)

  • Description

    "Small Wonders comprises 7 installations by 7 curators and is the outcome of a six month long curatorial workshop. Workshop participants Bopha Chhay, Bronwynne Cornish, Sarah Cox, Adam Gifford, Rose Hoare, Karla Bo Johnson, Roberta Johnson, Esther Lamb, Rick Pearson, Esther Rosser and Anna Wallis are responsible for the curation, design and writing for Small Wonders. In their installations the curators consider various qualities of The Miniature.

    Distortion, essence, possession, portability and power that arise from the reduction in scale. The qualities of expertise, fastidiousness - which are inherent in miniature making - otherworldliness and seriousness indicate that these are not toys for children"-- Objectspace website.
