A\u00a0Working Model of the World<\/i><\/i> explores the human impulse to model. It asks how we use models to contemplate, experiment, invent and teach. The exhibition emphasizes \u2018model\u2019 as a verb, showing that modelling is an activity that unifies all human beings \u2013 from children rolling dough to ecologists predicting rising sea-levels.<\/p>\n

The artists in the exhibition, from Australia, New Zealand and the United States, examine the practical and symbolic work that models perform and the small worlds that models create, inviting a conversation between different forms of material thinking. Featured artists are Brook Andrew, Corinne May Botz, Ian Burns, Maria Fernanda Cardoso, Kate Dunn, David Eastwood, caraballo-farman, Emily Floyd, Andrea Fraser and Jeff Preiss, Glen Hayward, Jo Law, Palle Nielsen, Kenzee Patterson, Sascha Pohflepp & Chris Woebken, Karolina Sobecka, and jackie sumell.<\/p>\n

Curated by\u00a0Dr. Lizzie Muller\u00a0(UNSW Art & Design) and\u00a0Holly Williams\u00a0(The Curators\u2019 Department).<\/p>\n

Developed and Presented in partnership with UNSW Galleries<\/a>, Sydney, the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, and\u00a0The Curators\u2019 Department<\/a>,\u00a0Sydney.<\/p>\n
