EXHIBIT: The Bloody Beautiful Show

I don't read Dutch, so you're on your own here, but check out the images from a group exhibition The Bloody Beautiful Show held at Historical museum Schielandhuis in Rotterdam from October 2007-March 2008. 

If it's any help, I pasted the first paragraph into a free online translator and got this:

"Cities men have a strange relation with animals.  We love zielsveel our pet, but stand rather not quietly by the origin of our shoes and meal.  A Party for the Animals sit in the Second Chamber, but the Netherlands accommodates also many nertsenfokkerijen.  For Gorilla Bokito appeared the faithful visitor a provocative plague mind.  Bloedmooi confronts the visitor without batting an eye with the role of the animal in a men world."

I'm sure I could be more helpful if I tried, but really, the images speak for themselves. I did have one sentence translated though: "Bloedmooi [BloodyBeautiful] is quite attractive, quite repulsive, but especially intriguing."  Artists include: Afke Goldstein, Katinka Simonse, Koen Hauser, Cindy Wright, Karen Knorr, Wim Delvoye, Jan Fabre, Edward Lipsky, Ari Versluis & Ellie Uittenbroek.

What if we use humans? Would people call it art or murder?
