The Modern Artists Want Your Meat
OLD MR Anorak has instructed his workers to create a new art collection: But It Is Art. The Anorak exhibition will focus on the very best in the world of art…
This week: Meat After Meat Joy, at the Daneyal Mahmood Gallery, New York City.
Meat After Meat Joy brings together the work of contemporary artists who use meat in their work… in order to investigate the paradoxical relationship meat has to the body. Meat combines flesh, skin, muscle, organs, blood - each with its own relationship to the body, yet meat’s only reference to the body is as a once-upon-a-time living biological thing.
Meat combines nail, hoof, eyelid and burger…
By putting these artists together, the exhibition seeks to investigate the uncanny effect meat as a medium is for artist and viewer. This is not a show about meat as spectacle but about meat as signification, precisely because meat does not signify (a body) but its very annihilation…
OMA will be featuring more art in the coming weeks…

genius idea, i have pair of shoes that look just like that made from genuine synthetic animal skin, i could market them as a symbolic protest, the true veggie alternative, indestructable and non biodegradable, glued instead of handsewn and garanteed to make your feet sweat rather than hands of some kid in some far away country. i think if i put them in formaldehyd they might melt though.

Put that trainer into a tank of Formalderhyde and you should be able to double your asking price!

Is contemporay another word/term, meaning to describe the idiom ‘money for old rope’?
October 18th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Yes use the word ‘contemporary’ to explain your work(s), very wise, in fact very, very wise cos it can add up to 10 Million Pounds to the sale price! That one word makes one hell of a difference!

You could be onto a winner here! Hype yourself up and say that you are the new Damien Hirst and wait for a stampede from people with more money than sense prepared to pay millions for your works.
