This meticulously detailed recreation of a Northern Irish public house, based on the interior of the defunct Blackthorn Bar in Belfast, is both an artwork and a functioning pub. Irish artist Theo Sims fuses the authentic with the fantastic, with twin Belfast bartenders as unscripted performers and nightly events programmed by Vancouver author Michael Turner (Hard Core Logo) and Winnipeg artist Paul Butler.
