“Public
House of Cards”
February 2009
![]() ![]() Leachim’s artwork focuses on public houses and their role and function within British society, often charting the decline of this role.
These installations utilize a collection
of European beer
mats and other bar paraphernalia from the 1970’s and 1980’s, drawing on nostalgia for a time before alcohol came to represent aspiration and sophistication and was instead seen as a simple enhancement to everyday life.
Each of these displays serve as a very
obvious metaphor for
the fragile nature of the public house in today’s fragile economic and physical environment. The Last Gallery Llangadog Wales www.thelast.org.uk |
