About the Show

Animals are slaughtered in mass daily without much thought by the consumer. This is especially prevalent in western cultures, where the process is purposefully cloaked & sanitized.

In the fall of 2008, Micki Skudlarczyk was awarded an artist in residency in Mexico at the Fundacion Gruber, Jez. During her time there she developed a relationship with the small slaughter community in & around the village of Cholul, where she experienced the process of animal slaughter from start to finish first hand.

Well Finished investigates the artist’s philosophical & emotional struggle between her reverence for the animals that we eat & her dismay at the pain & fear they sometimes experience at the moment of death.

Funded in part by an LIAEP Grant from the Kansas City Artists Coalition.
