Shaping Space: modelling, making and activism

Andy Gent, creator behind Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride (2005), Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs (2018) and The French Dispatch (2021), will display sets and a puppet from Save Ralph (2021), a short film produced to campaign for the end of animal testing by the cosmetics industry. Gent is one model maker celebrated in Shaping Space – Architectural Models Revealed, a free exhibition opening on 24 September 2021 at the Building Centre in Bloomsbury. The exhibition is curated by the Building Centre in partnership with Simona Valeriani of the V&A Research Institute (VARI).
