Koen Vanmechelen is an Belgian internationally acclaimed multi- and transdisciplinary artist who began his career in the early 1990s. He is one of the most prolific and prominent contemporary artists in Belgium. His ground-breaking work deals with biocultural diversity and identity. Central to his oeuvre is the chicken, which, through his projects, is revealed as both an artwork and a metaphor for society. By bringing together and exploring the interplay between art, science, and philosophy in his work, Vanmechelen reflects upon our global heritage and examines the way that we choose to live and evolve.
