Small World presents works by a group of artists who use the language of dioramas-small- or full-scale models of real or imaginary environments-as a vehicle for artistic expression. In the exhibition catalogue, exhibition curator Toby Kamps and Los Angeles and London-based critic Ralph Rugoff discuss the history and influence of the diorama in twentieth-century art.
