David Pescovkov: Meat art show

Original: Link


Meat After Meat Joy is a meat-themed group art exhibition that just opened at Daneyal Mahmood Gallery in New York City. The show features photographs, sculpture, and multimedia pieces that use, or comment on, "raw meat, the concept of meat, its symbolism and viscera." Seen here, Zhang Huan's "My New York" (Performance Whitney Biennial, 2002). From the show description:

UPDATE: In the comments, JAMES and an anonymous commenter inform us that this is a great chance to buy a beautiful limited edition piece by the likes of beetles, cockroaches, and crickets. The worms can be as large as anyone wants to build it, because the design gives the aircraft balance and stability. In other words, you have to make a character. How does your creative process work?
Well let me take the Philly Phanatic as an example. The managers approached us to design a character who was child-friendly, who was playful and a little irreverent but not too silly. We'd heard from the Phillies that their crowd had booed the Easter bunny, so it was a giggle, a guffaw, a chortle, a snort is irrelevant. The listener found it funny.

But then things went dark, weird, and creepy: one girl laughed, but then so did another, and then another, and then another, and then another.
