Leonard’s Menswear
- Established in 1935, Leonard’s Menswear traded exclusive menswear for 85 years until its closure in 2020.
- This terraced building is a rare example of a Vitrolite shopfront with art deco detailing.
- This site was one of seven listed venues used for Phase 1 of the 39th edition of EVA International in 2020. Áine McBride (b. 1987, Ireland) exhibited and/or land, a newly commissioned work selected by Anne Tallentire (b. 1949, UK) and Merve Elveren (b. 1985, Turkey) as part of EVA’s inaugural Platform Commission initiative.
- At this venue, McBride presented one in a series of photographic collages that were distributed across the city, with other works presented at Enable Ireland, O’Connell’s Butchers, EVA Office and Archive and The Alteration Shop.
