Ludique, cognitive, didactique, la miniature permet d'abord d'approcher, de comprendre et de dominer la complexit du r el (maquette, mod le r duit, maison de poup e, diorama, aquarium, etc.) mais elle constitue aussi une oeuvre d'art part enti re qui change notre rapport au monde et modifie notre regard. Contrairement au fragment et au d tail, souvent tudi s, elle repr sente l'objet dans sa totalit en changeant d' chelle, et ouvre la connaissance et l'imagination de nouveaux mondes.
Co-edited by Isabelle Roussel-Gillet and Evelyne Thoizet, La miniature, dispositif artistique et mod le pist mologique focuses on the new functions of the miniature at the crossroads of visual arts, architecture, literature, technology and sciences since the early 1960s. Playful, cognitive or didactic, the miniature (as model, dollhouse, aquarium, diorama...) allows us to approach, understand and perhaps dominate a complex reality. Many contemporary artists consider the miniature as a fully-fledged work of art which changes our relationships with the world and modifies our perception. Contrary to the often-studied detail, ornament or fragment, the miniature provides a complete vision of the depicted object in a different scale, and opens knowledge and imagination to new worlds.
