ps. if you read the materials used in making this shoe – it is actually made with latex not animal flesh – just looks like it!

sorry for the gruesome morning read – if you click on the gallery link you can read more about what this exhibition is about and check out some of the other thought provoking and gruesome and not so gruesome art.

I agree with the previous comment…
Also, the disgusting thing to me, at least, was the wastefulness of this art project. Maybe I’m being overly sensitive, but I feel artworks that use food that will eventually spoil and go to the trash, are probably worse then nike shoes (at least they’re being used by people instead of rotting).

Perhaps, a better way of obtaining the meat would be to go out during hunting season, prepare what was hunted for food (or donate it to food places) as well as make leather from the hide. This, to me, would be more meaninful an art piece as well as show real thought to the process instead of buying pre-packaged meat from the market. It just seems to cheapen what the artist intended by creating this piece.

After living around a different culture that has hunted for hundreds of years, this type of art appears wasteful at best.

I know that it’s art and it’s supposed to be thought-provoking and all that, but when I saw this, the only thing I could think was “WOW my dog would love that.” :o)
