| Note | Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide, 11 November 2016-29 January 2017. Includes bibliographical references. Art is a human urge so powerful that it knows few limitations. Sappers & Shrapnel is a contemporary art project inspired by the little-known and undervalued art form known as Trench Art. This term describes the objects made from the waste of warfare objects crafted by soldiers, civilians and prisoners of war. Whether intended as trophies of war, souvenirs for those at home, or talismans for the battle ahead, Trench Art is an expression of our ineffable need to make art. Lovingly and cleverly crafted from the detritus of war, Trench Art also offers an enduring and personal expression of the Anzac spirit. This project invites contemporary artists to produce new work in response to the Australian War Memorial?s collection of Trench Art, which includes items made during the First World War by Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women and Turkish prisoners of war. Tertiary/Undergraduate, General. |
