The ambitions of the Something To Do With Scale exhibition at Woodbury SoA's Wedge Gallery are both large and small.
The installation presents fine-art prints of architectural projects by the design firm which span from floor to ceiling. These same prints appear simultaneously in the gallery space at one-fifth the size. Employing the characteristic production of multiples associated with printing and printmaking the installation experiments with the relative perception of scale.
Both diminutive and commanding in presence within the Wedge Gallery, the exhibition is seriously cute—cute because it resides in the aesthetic territory between dainty and dumpy, as described by Sianne Ngai, and serious because it quite literally takes on the conceit that representation is design.
Design Team: Owen Nichols, Clara Syme, Gus Crain, and Kyle Ku
Fabrication assistance from Woodbury School of Architecture: Albert Matar, Gabriel Masinas, Vivian Rogers, Elizabeth Wood, and Cody Miner.
