Artistic creations
on the theme of slaughterhouses

A sensitive perspective on slaughterhouses

The exhibition À la belle vue de l'abattoir examines the imagery, history, and contemporary issues surrounding slaughterhouses. Whether through denunciation, memory, poetry, or critical analysis, the works invite visitors to take a sensitive and informed look at these sites of passage, abandonment, production, transformation, and—as of today—heritage.

This European collective exhibition aims to open a dialogue on what slaughterhouses reveal about our societies: our relationship with living beings, production methods, traces, and disappearance.

 By creating a dialogue between artworks, archival documents, and life stories, the exhibit offers a complete immersion into a theme rarely explored in the field of applied arts. It pays tribute to the power of craftsmanship as a way to interpret the world.

Alongside the European selection, the exhibition showcases new, original works by six BeCraft members specifically commissioned for the occasion:

• Isabelle Carpentier

• Clémentine Correzzola

• Joséphine Hazard

• Machteld Lambeets

• Claire Lavendhomme

• Olivia Mortier
