Ever wonder how chickens and art can coalesce to become more meaningful--not in the sense of canvas and paint, but in the global sense? World-renowned artist, Koen Vanmechelen, brings these two unlikely topics as a pair together to make a point on how we should view the world in a different perspective.
Koen Vanmechelen is an internationally renowned conceptual artist with a focus on biocultural diversity and identity.
Vanmechelen is best known for his Cosmopolitan Chicken Project, where he has interbred national chicken species into “cosmopolitan chickens”. His oeuvre is as diverse and hybrid as the cosmopolitan chicken itself: a unique mix of paintings, drawings, photography, 3D-techniques, video, installations, and wooden sculptures.
Vanmechelen has participated in both solo and group exhibitions around the world, including London, Venice, Amsterdam, and Moscow. Most recently, his work has been featured at the Wasserman Projects in Detroit, MI.
