Models and maquettes are essential in artistic production, often serving as small-scale versions of larger projects for practical reasons. Bypassing real-world constraints like size, cost, and safety, these prototypes and mock-ups enable vivid experimentation and exploration of ideas. This group exhibition forefronts the creativity and beauty of these objects, celebrating the hidden processes of artistic practice.
