MODEL CITY

Exhibition: 26 July – 4 September

‘Model City’ brings the seductive remains of a consumer age into a playful collision with the utopian and the architectural.

Discarded cardboard boxes of domestic products and consumables are adapted into building blocks and stacked into vertical structures of fragmented text, logos, brand and lifestyle imagery. The viewer is invited to imagine these stacks as a model for an infinite architectural landscape of mega-towers or vertical cities. The installation both reflects an image of the way we live and questions our desires and aspirations for the architecture around us.

Influenced by their experiences of architectural space and how it is articulated by the figure, Sophie Warren and Jonathan Mosley collaborate on projects that respond to place and context through architecture, intervention and gallery based installation. Their work has been exhibited locally and internationally, and reviewed in both architectural and art journals.
