The New Mother Sculptures

The New Mother Sculptures shows a large, open landscape where contemporary works of art can be experienced in a seductive way. Each sculpture forms its own specific physical and spiritual world, sometimes cursing and screaming, sometimes loving. A world that does not want to be rationally understood but wishes us to look, feel and "be. The images come from the studios of young talented and well-known artists. There are tapestries, conjuring constructions made of iron, a Canta with nitrous oxide cartridges, colored glass bricks, plastic truck tarps, structures made of root tissues, an infinite bookcase and more. Visitors are encouraged to take off their shoes and explore the exhibition with bare feet, without the use of phones. The physical contact with the artworks, the mysterious soundscape and the smell of loam with pickled seeds invite complete immersion. 

The exhibition is curated by artist and curator Ad de Jong.

I think there's very little likelihood that oysters, mussels and clams have any consciousness so it's defendable to eat them
