Memorable exhibitions: inspecting meat at Carne 2010, Paris
An art exhibition with the rather succinct title 'Meat', displaying dead and live off-cuts of both human and animal origin, may not be a terribly new concept in the times of Gunter von Hagen’s ‘Body Worlds’, gory films and Lady Gaga costumes. However, in order to give their meaty art show a certain je ne sais quois, the Parisian organisers of Carne 2010 rather unceremoniously moved the exhibition out of the museum and into the slaughterhouse. Flashback tour through northern Paris, caught somewhere between minced meat and video installations
