The Horowitz Slaughterhouse Exhibition

It's pretty blazing cool to have an artist amongst us who communicates the plight of animals whom the rest of the world ignores.
What's in this post
A “Go Vegan” exhibition in a slaughterhouse– that “still reeks of of butchered beef.”
The world of animal butchery is a very harsh, dirty, and cold world, indeed- to say the least.
The Jonathan Horowitz exhibit, Go Vegan!, at Gavin Brown’s enterprise in the south Village, NYC, attempts to bring that harsh reality to the public. What could be a more effective space than a former slaughterhouse, to show art consisting of images of death, juxtaposed with images of life- contrasted with photos of vegetarian celebrities??
I haven’t personally seen the exhibit, so I cannot comment on it as art. But I can say that it is pretty blazing cool to have an artist amongst us who communicates the plight of those animals whom the rest of the world ignores. It’s a refreshing change from some of the so-called artists we’ve seen who use animal exploitation as an “excuse” for art- and you know how we feel about those.
You’ve got until June 19 to check it. For more information, go to Gavin Brown’s website.
