Phlegm: Pandemic Diary series at the Millennium Gallery, Sheffield

February 17, 2024 artofthestate

You’d think the Covid-19 pandemic would remain fresh in our minds for a long time but one look around the 67 artworks by Phlegm at his Pandemic Diary show in Sheffield is a salutary reminder of just what we went through and how much we forget. Witty, strange and poignant, it’s the perfect way to capture the experiences we all had during this period. Highly recommended – and if you’re in Sheffield why not take the time to have a look around the city and the rest of Phlegm’s works in it.

Also on display are some of the pieces from Phlegm’s ‘Mausoleum of the Giants’ show which are now part of Sheffield Museum’s permanent collection.
