SUMMARY:John Lennon Art and Design Building: John Lennon Art and Design Bui
 lding: Snapshot 04: Making in Miniature
DESCRIPTION:Snapshot 04: Making in Miniature\nApril 8 – May 31\, 2024.\nR
 eception Corridor\, John Lennon Art and Design Building\, Liverpool School
  of Art and Design.\n--\n\nThroughout the history of modern art\, the muse
 um and the art market has prized the monumental: colossal history painting
 s and epic abstract canvases in oils\, monumental sculptures cast in bronz
 e and marble. Very small-scale sculptural works tend to be thought of as e
 ither models or maquettes instead of final works of art\, whilst miniature
  paintings were once side-lined as personal tokens or fetish objects. Yet 
 the small-scale work of art enables a complex politics of intimacy\, and a
  different relationship with the viewer. Working in small scale invites a 
 gentle and careful approach to making\, or one that can enjoy making multi
 ples and a kind of methodology grounded in repetition\, accumulation\, and
  seriality. It also challenges the conventions of art’s display: how do 
 you hang a tiny painting\, or exhibit a miniscule sculpture? To think smal
 l opens up the curatorial possibilities of assemblages\, collections\, con
 stellations and series – whether working in drawing\, painting\, found o
 bjects or sculpture.\n\nOver the course of a semester\, 15 second year Fin
 e Art students have embraced the idea of ‘Making in Miniature’. They h
 ave collectively thought about what it means to make a work of art on an i
 ntimate scale – a tiny sculpture you can hold in the palm of your hands\
 , a painting the size of a postcard\, or an artist’s book the smaller th
 an a passport. They have developed a series of small-scale works – penci
 l drawings\, inks\, paintings\, artist books and zines\, photographs\, col
 lages\, montages\, found assemblages or sculptures. We have explored how s
 cale effects a painting’s reception and how we experience it\, we have w
 orked independently\, but also as a group to learn collectively from our a
 dventures into the miniature\, and end with this exhibition of works that 
 we hope make you look closer and rethink the politics and poetics of scale
  in artistic practice\, and everyday life.\n\nThe Making in Miniature Coll

 lay programme of sequentially changing creative outputs. It provides an im
 pression of each participant’s practice located in a liminal space in th
 e School\, where visitors only spend fleeting moments travelling to other 
 spaces or waiting to enter classes.\n\nThe project is the result of an ong
 oing open call to all visiting researchers and practitioners\, staff and s
 tudents of all levels on all programmes at Liverpool School of Art and Des
 ign. It presents incomplete\, transitory views of research-and-practice-in
 -progress\; a window into a brief moment in time of a given academic year.
  The displays are selected on aesthetic criteria of how to best animate th
 e space they occupy\, projecting forwards in time the potential each work 
 holds.\n\nAs the year progresses a living archive will develop on the conc
 rete pillar next to each pair of vitrines\, providing information about pa
 st and current displays.\n\n--\n\nDeveloped by Dr James Schofield\, Dr Han
 a Leaper and Christine Eyene (Exhibition Research Lab)\, and managed by st
 udents from the MA Exhibition Studies programme.\n\n--\nImage credit: Luba
