Sztuka mięs(n)a

Sue Coe, an English artist, said that animal slaughter has become normalized because it was hidden. Plastic-wrapped pieces of meaton supermarket shelves do not resemble living beings. Meat intended for mass consumption is no longer real, while in the contemporary art we can find examples of the reverse. Meat art puts viewers in an uncomfortable situation because what the food industry conceals(killing animals, blood, guts), they canexperience directly in an art gallery. It seems that meat in the contemporary art enables symbolic reference to many issues. In my text, I would like to show examples of the use of animals/meat by artists to shock and collide viewers with the Real, as well as to ask them ethical questions.

Sue Coe, angielska artystka, stwierdziła, że rzeź zwierząt uległa normalizacji, ponieważ została ukryta. Wystawione na półkach supermarketów zafoliowane kawałki mięsa nie przywodzą na myśl żywych istot. Mięso przeznaczone do masowej konsumpcji zostało odrealnione, natomiast w sztuce współczesnej znajdziemy przykłady procesu odwrotnego. Sztuka mięs(n)a stawia widzów w niewygodnej sytuacji, ponieważ to, co skrzętnie skrywa przemysł spożywczy (zabijanie zwierząt, krew, wnętrzności) dane jest im doświadczyć bezpośrednio. Wydaje się, że mięso w sztuce współczesnej umożliwia symboliczne odniesienie się do wielu kwestii. W swoim tekście chciałabym pokazać przykłady wykorzystania zwierząt/mięsa przez artystów, aby szokować i zderzać odbiorców z Realnym, a także zadawać im pytania natury etycznej.

Postcolonial writers like Salman Rushdie often write back to the “empire” by appropriating myth and allegory. In The Ground beneath Her Feet, Rushdie rewrites the mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice, using katabasis (the trope of the descent into Hell) to comment both on the situation of the postcolonial writer from a personal perspective and to attempt a redefinition of postcolonial migrant identity-formation. Hell has a symbolic function, pointing both to the external context of globalization and migration (which results in the characters’ disorientation) and to an interior space which can be interpreted either as a source of unrepressed energies and creativity (in a Romantic vein) or as the space of the abject (in the manner of Julia Kristeva). The article sets out to investigate the complex ways in which the Orphic myth and katabasis are employed to shed light on the psychology of the creative artist and on the reconfiguration of identity that becomes the task of the postcolonial migrant subject. The journey into the underworld functions simultaneously as an allegory of artistic creation and identity reconstruction.
