Pigs and Sheep and Beasts
In a time of significant staff shortages, everyone has to go the extra mile. This also means the animals. Many animals are already active in the labour market, such as police horses and guide dogs for the blind, but there is no harm in using even more animal species in even more different areas. So the question is on the table: how do we get the best out of the animals? Promoting the work ethic of animals is a necessary step in the revaluation and emancipation of the animal. In this way, we allow animals to participate fully in a capitalist society that we humans are already so committed to.
Pigs and Sheep and Beasts
Exhibition
In the Pigs and Sheep and Beasts exhibition, eight artists present a visual motivational speech that calls on their animals to become 'employee of the year' in their own way. The nominations range from the rainbow crab in the 'love' category and the chicken and pig in the 'food' category, to the house snail in the 'cosmetics' category. Animals that have been excluded from the labor process for a long time are also involved. Think of deep-sea animals, such as the horseshoe crab. It turns out to be possible to give them work as well.
This exhibition offers hope for all animals. Hope, because even the slowest (snails in this case), with or without a home, can contribute to the common good if they pick up some speed.
