Steve Schofield - Land of the Free
13th June to 8th August 2009 at the BCA Gallery
Steve Schofield’s practice explores the fascination that the British public has with American popular culture. In the growing photographic series Land of the Free, Schofield shows people in their own homes wearing costumes ordinarily worn at cult conventions. Although humorous, Schofield’s work also makes a political reference to America’s ongoing ability to infiltrate other cultures via the media. Schofield presents his sitters in typically British environments, which enables the viewer to see the awkward clash of cultures for themselves.
From 12 – 2pm on Saturday 13th June, you and your friends can join us to celebrate the opening of Land of the Free. This is a great chance to see the work and meet the artist!
Appetite for Art Talk: Thursday 2nd July – 9pm £6
