The Ottawa School of Art Byward Market Campus is pleased to present War Games an exhibition by Todd Tremeer and P. Roch Smith. The exhibit runs from January 12 to February 15, 2015, with an opening reception on January 22, 2015 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Ottawa School of Art’s Byward Market Gallery at 35 George Street, Ottawa.
P. Roch Smith and Todd Tremeer are two artists who consider play and its relation to war. Scaled down versions of reality in the form of model kits and toy soldiers are points of departure for both artists. In War Games, play enters the territory of the miniature. Plastic and lead soldiers are arrayed for battle; model kits and dioramas go on review. Miniature worlds are presented as sites of imagination, speculation and memory.
