Modernism in Miniature: Points of View, an exhibition curated by Davide Deriu, Senior Lecturer in architecture at the University of Westminster, London, explores the encounter between photography and model-making in the period between c.1920-1960. Focusing on model photography as a distinctive genre, the exhibition suggests that the so-called ‘model boom’ was inextricably bound up with the explosion of modern mass media. Channeled by the illustrated press, miniatures reached out to a wide public and in some cases, acquired a cult status that has endured to this day. By revisiting a widespread yet often neglected imagery, the exhibition provokes questions about the relationship between media in architectural culture and the specific impact of photography on the perception of miniature. http://www.cca.qc.ca/en/exhibitions/1487-modernism-in-miniature
