Tropaeum
Cost
Free
Tropaeum, the Latin word for a monument erected to commemorate victory, has over time morphed into our modern word ‘trophy’. This idea and the statement of power implied by trophies is explored by seven Western Australian and one Victorian artist in this thought-provoking exhibition of sculptures.
Through a series of new works, the artists tackle the flamboyant declaration of supremacy implied
by these small domestic monuments, undercutting this grandeur with flashes of sly wit and kitsch.
