White Cows Installation

This installation is a new subtract derived from an idea of a series of 5 storefront art installations in the Meat Packing District in Copenhagen, that I created in 1996, based on the fact that the first fashion week in town was located in a former slaughterhouse; The Hall of the Axe. How ironic is that! ’Meat.’ So I responded with an anti-commercial! The essence of the project ‘White Cows’, is a culmination of an obsession with female beauty in literature, media and fashion. A comment on female beauty and the methods and extent used, to which people will go to in order to achieve this: Nano-tech for life extending and body-beautiful surgery, future DNA manipulation, products containing animal products… Beauty conquers everything, as Laurie Anderson stated. Thus, the horror of knowing how we generally treat animals before we eat them, is stronger than beauty! The mirrored twin metaphor is also derived from Jaques Lacan’s ’Theory of Mirrors’ in which he describes babies self-recognition. There is a certain model for classic beauty which are copied and multiplied to benefit corporate fincial hierarchy. And women we do this by ’free will;’ a narcissistic self-adoration, mirroring ourselves in other women’s eye-catchiing appearance. Also, the intent behind this particular installation, in the 'White Cows' project is a no cost recycler-installation created of found materials, in the specific neighborhood and in the building. The works on display at Jess Projects is inserted in a community and zone known as a gang territory on the intersection of Phillipinotown, Silverlake, Downtown and Koreatown. A multi ethnical melting pot. On display from March 8, 2014. ’Women’s International Day’ until April 6, 2014 at Jess Projects, 3217 Beverly Blvd. LA
