The World's Smallest Gallery
In a world where dizzying rental prices and skyscrapers are skyrocketing,
a tiny gallery with an appreciation for all things small has emerged.
The World's Smallest Gallery (aka Sydney's Smallest Gallery) fits only one viewer at a time,
and requires the use of a magnifying glass to view contemporary miniature artworks from all over the world.
The World’s Smallest Gallery is a celebration of the most intricate parts of our world.
It is a re-contextualisation of art; how we observe & experience it.
The intriguing installation transforms overlooked spaces into somewhere explore.
It offers viewers the opportunity to pause, reflect and re-discover smaller details.
The gallery appears as a black cube the size of a small room. The uniqueness of the object invites the individual to explore & discover its purpose.
Upon approach, the gallery reveals a doorway sized opening. Pinpricks of light emanate from the gallery's dark internal walls, offering curiosities to be discovered. Each spot of light is a tiny window that offers a glimpse into a miniature world filled with art from all over the globe, no bigger than 3cm tall or wide.
The gallery is a platform for artists working in a miniature scale who lack a forum within the contemporary art scene.
Viewers experience an immersive perspective shift re-engaging with
the smaller scale, the miniature, and fine details
so often easily overlooked in a landscape of architectural and artistic giants.
Upon exiting the gallery, a new perspective on the surrounding environment is offered.
Intricacies of our urban cityscape are no longer ignored, their stories are centre stage, ready to be discovered.
