The World is My Imagination.

Media-Model-Miniature

CUBE is proud to be hosting 'The World is My Imagination' and international media-art exhibition in galleries 1-4. This exhibition was devised and curated by Andrea Zapp.

CUBE invites the public to take a fascinating tour of this exhibition, hosted by Andrea Zapp, the curator of ‘The World is My Imagination’: Tuesday 23rd October 2007 10.30 am at CUBE gallery Free Admission - click for info.

The exhibition explores striking and picturesque model worlds which replicate physical and imaginary spaces, while reflecting existences and habitats, personal memories and longing.

The shift in scale ultimately comments on our surroundings, within social, cultural and technological changes.

Nine artists and collectives investigate the miniscule as an artist interface in video, networked and interactive installations, digital sound sculptures and photography, found objects and custom built environments.

Not just in Gulliver's Travels have shifting sizes and miniature shapes been a creative feature in literature and contemporary art practice, ‘The World is My Imagination’ explores this fascination for artists and audiences alike. Nine international projects display miniscule scenery with particular and ingenious methods within the field of media arts and environment.  

Film, photography, digital imagery, sounds, model objects and even tiny plants are embedded into custom-built rooms and miniature interfaces, to establish a story; opposing a playful, dreamlike or virtual world against the real, in relation to Schopenhauer's view that 'the world is my imagination'.
