  • Lisa Barnard 32 Smiths Square Photographic Commission
    8 Paddock Road Lisa Barnard Lewes East Sussex BN7 1UU 32 Smiths Square Mob: 07796 374 237 Photographic Commission Web: lisabarnard.co.uk MAGGIE 7 OF 8 32 Smiths Square The old conservative party headquarters at 32 Smiths Square is synonymous with Margaret Thatcher smiling and waving gleefully out of the window on the 2nd floor, after winning the elections of 1979/83/87. The building was the home of the Conservative party from1958 to 2003 and thus represents an important period within our political history. It is common knowledge that Thatcher took a vehement stand against persistently contested European integration and hence the photographic representation of the space will perhaps suggest a degree of satire –the building will re-open as ‘Europe House’ in October 2010. The symbolism of the dulled shades of blue, peeling paintwork and iconography of past alliances will inevitably draw comparisons between the previous use of the building and the hope and importance of the buildings future inhabitants. The building had a notorious reputation for being partly responsible for the demise of the conservative party with its ‘rabbit warren’ style layout, encouraging descent and backstabbing. It is well documented that Michael Howard, during his brief time as leader, made it a priority to move the Conservative Central Office to an environment more ‘aesthetically pleasing’. Lord Parkinson –chairman of the Conservative Party from 1981 to 1983 and again from 1997 to 1998-, said: “a distinctly shabby feel at Central Office was encouraged by the then-treasurer Lord McAlpine, to create a parsimonious air to encourage donors to be generous.

    3/14/13 How Margaret Thatcher's HQ turned into Chateau Despair | Art and design | guardian.co.uk Welcome Lisa Barnard, sign into the Guardian with Facebook How Margaret Thatcher's HQ turned into Chateau Despair Lisa Barnard's photographs of the drab former Tory party headquarters show the fleeting nature of political power – with Thatcher's image left to get damp and discoloured in a cupboard Sean O'Hagan guardian.co.uk, Thursday 28 February 2013 17.24 GMT Empty smiles … mouldy photographs of Iain Duncan Smith at 32 Smith Square Eight identikit portraits of Margaret Thatcher, steely­eyed, almost smiling, punctuate www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2013/feb/28/chateau-despair-photography-margaret-thatcher 1/5 3/14/13 How Margaret Thatcher's HQ turned into Chateau Despair | Art and design | guardian.co.uk the pages of Chateau Despair. Each one is blemished to a different degree by creeping mould, which has vividly discoloured the lower edges of the paper. The old photographs were uncovered in a damp, disused cupboard in 32 Smith Square, Westminster, which was the head office of the Conservative party from 1958 to 2004. They provide a distinctly Warholian undertow to the main body of work in Lisa Barnard's new book, a psychic investigation of this empty, neglected space where political power used to reside – and where a free­market ideology was created that continues to shape our lives. Chateau Despair Chateau Despair is one of three books that launch the new by Lisa Barnard independent imprint Gost Books. Its pointed title may or may not reflect Barnard's view of Thatcher's reign and, by extension, the Britain the so­called Iron Lady made in her own image.
