Description

In Tavern League, photographer Carl Corey documents a unique and vital segment of the Wisconsin community. Our bars are unique micro-communities, offering patrons a sense of belonging. Many of these bars are the only public gathering place in the rural communities they serve. These simple taverns offer the individual the valuable opportunity for head to head conversation and camaraderie, particularly as people develop into more physically isolated through the accelerated use of the web’s social networking, mobile texting, gaming, and the rapid-fire of email.

This number of 60 pictures captures the Wisconsin tavern as it’s nowadays. Carl Corey’s view is both familiar and undeniably unique, his pictures resonant with any individual who has set foot in a Wisconsin tavern. As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Mary Louise Schumacher has written, “Carl Corey’s photographs . . . document iconic American places that are taken with no consideration. . . . They’re comforting images, places we know, but also eerie and remote, presented with a sense of romance and nostalgia that suggests They’re already past.”
