Thomas Demand gives a Mellon lecture describing the limitations but also the strange pre-eminence of models as artefacts. The artist, who has presented mid-career retrospectives at both MOMA and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, argues that whilst models describe a fragment of our surroundings, it is difficult to prove them wrong.
