Since the early-90's, Patricia Cronin (b. 1963) has garnered international attention for her photographs, paintings and sculptures that address contemporary human rights issues. Cronin’s conceptual artistic practice transits across many aesthetic platforms addressing social justice issues of gender, sexuality and class, including: lesbian visibility, feminist art history, marriage equality and international rights of women.

Tack Room is a replica of an integral part of a horse barn. The work is filled with books and accoutrements of equine training and care, along with sexually suggestive leather saddles, bridles, whips and suede chaps. Images of horse crazy young girls are hung next to pages from Playboy along with Stud magazine’s "Breed of the Month" centerfolds. Tack Room is filled with objects loaded with multiple meanings, questioning just how much is sport and how much is erotic?

Tack Room was also exhibited in Horse Play (1999) at Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT; Patricia Cronin, The Domain of Perfect Affection, 1993 -2003 (2004), UB Gallery, University at Buffalo, NY and almost 2 decades later was presented in Eric Shiner’s curated section Platform at The Armory Show (2017), New York, NY.
