“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

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.

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