“It is an installation called ‘Grounding’ by the artist and MFA student Rafael Perez Evans. His work is part of Goldsmiths’ MFA degree show. Rafael has arranged for the carrots to be removed at the end of the exhibition and donated to farm animals,” reads the response.

At least the artist is trying to highlight this massive waste! Not sure I'd want to feed this lot to my animals though.

The produce in the piece are unwanted carrots. Carrots that the food industry in the UK deems not worthy of shelves. The full 29 tonnes of vegetables will be collected after the exhibition and sent to feed animals

The janitors at the local art college are told "if it's on the floor it's rubbish, if it's on the wall it's art".
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

Great feed for milking ewes - get them every spring.

Please click on the picture to get the full background report then read it out loud to someone.
Interesting that a meat-free uni is going to feed it to animals. Also interesting to find out if the carrots were actually rejects as look fine from a distance.
Put them on the menu instead of all the imported food.

Just had a look at the close-up photo of them being tipped. Lots are good, a few are black and a few are actually tatties

Do these artists get sponsored by rich advertising companies ?
The carrots might not be worth much but the stunt would have cost a bit.

How do you get hold of them, if you don't mind my asking?

They’re grown and graded in the north of Scotland.

I wouldn't want to either, not now they've been contaminated by London.

to be fair, I think a lot of the London world is just pretentious rubbish, I am shaking my head in disbelief to be honest!
