The Assembly #9: Resetting The Cow: Artists reflecting on mankind tailoring nature to its own needs

Watch now the 'Assembly #9 - Resetting The Cow: Artists reflecting on mankind tailoring nature to its own needs,' organized by the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center.

The conversation is an online round table discussion accompanied by a slideshow showcasing the work of three contemporary artists dealing with the topic of intensive animal farming, cattle breeding in particular. The three authors are using cow as a metaphor to people’s desire for domination of natural phenomena which often result in weird situations and unnatural processes within industrial livestock production. Two emerging artists from the younger generation, Hungarian artist Dániel Szalai (Futures talent of the Capa Center) and German photographer Manuela Braunmüller (Futures talent of the Triennial of Photography Hamburg) is joined by renowned Dutch photographer Hans van der Meer, who also published a book titled Time to Change on this topic. The conversation is mediated by the curator István Virágvölgyi.
