“SORRY” can’t make it all right… but “SORRY” can help make it alright…
Here’s a space to imagine what it might feel like, if you got the apology you needed,
or spoke the words you longed to give for wrongs done, or misunderstandings that bubbled up and took root.
Window Shopping
Saturday August 9
Opening Reception Saturday August 9 6PM-8PM
Window Shopping is an installation that reimagines the traditional butcher’s display as a commentary on the aesthetics of meat, consumption and violence. The exhibit features ceramic replicas of meat (sausages, ribs, steak etc) displayed both on plinths and suspended from chains in the Plate Glass gallery. This mirrors the visual appeal of a butcher’s elaborate display while critiquing the ethical and cultural implications of purchasing slaughtered animal bodies. When the butcher shop display is removed from its usual context and placed in the gallery space, pedestrians are given the opportunity to question meat’s presence and origin—an inquiry that might not have occurred in its typical setting.
