Todd Tremeer at The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

 Little Wars ( make me )

Opening Reception: Thurs. Aug. 12, 2010 7 :30 pm 

Working with historical narratives as a starting point for his work, Tremeer exposes the constructiveness of history through painting, installation and sculpture.His project for the LAB is inspired by H.G. Wells 1913 book Little Wars, which gave the readers a set of rules for playing war with toy soldiers. Within the gallery space Tremeer will create a panoramic mural drawn from 16th century woodblock prints. Stamps made by the artist depicting houses, trees, peasants, walls, mounted knights, tanks and animals, will be available in the space for visitors to use to contribute to the work.
