Publisher's Synopsis
Bobby Baker's 'Great & Tiny War' was a major site-specific artwork that took over an entire house in Newcastle upon Tyne from 7 September to 28 November 2018. Commissioned for 14-18 NOW - the UK's arts programme for the First World War centenary - 'Great & Tiny War' was co-produced by Daily Life Ltd. and Wunderbar. In this publication, artist, curator and writer Sarah Lightman reflects on the experience of visiting 'Great & Tiny War' and, through interviews with Baker and her collaborators, discusses the multiple layers - of family history, transgenerational trauma, domestic, emotional and intellectual labour - that underpin this award-winning artwork.
