Crazy about meat

Meat polarizes. It is by far the most emotional food we know.
Our exhibition asks why meat was taken for granted and viewed positively for so long, and how a slow change in values began in this country as the global view opened up. It discusses the conflicts inherent in meat and encourages visitors to develop their own attitude. In doing so, it plays on two levels of experience: exploring a thematically structured tour and immersing oneself in artistic worlds.
The thematic tour looks at meat in cultural, social, political and ecological contexts, asks about our relationship to animals and animal rights and considers whether lab-grown meat can be a solution.
The artistic approach ties in with the chapter topics, but opens up new windows with sometimes personal, sometimes surprising associations and confrontations. The following artists have been invited to contribute*: Ute Bartel, Michael von Brentano, Andrea Jäggi-Staudacher, Dora Kallmus (Madame D'Ora), Hartmut Kiewert, Jochen Lempert, Neozoon, Marije Vogelzang, Henk Wildschut and others.
