Inter | Sekt Presents: The First Annual Meat and greet

Fig. 1

The reception began at 8:30p.m. in department #203 ( Kill Floor ). The guests enjoyed an array of Hors d'oeuvres and liquid refreshments, and then listened to an impassioned speech by Steven Lee Matz on the correlation between the pieces they were about to view and the nature and functionality of the self in a mass consumer society.
From there the guests were led into department #204 ( Kill Floor ), which functioned this evening as the gallery and main center for the event.
The gallery smelled of stale blood and sweat, this scent was carried upward to one's nostrils floating aloft an uneasy latex undertone.
The music provided was played on two turntables on a stage decorated with glistening strips of red meat and three heads of cattle. The figure of Seven Vegas lurched over the vinyl on the turntables as a murderer over his victims. His eyes could just barely be seen beneath the Guy Fawkes mask he had on. Dancing about maniacally while making split second calculations of the turntable visually and then carrying them out with rapid precision Vegas mesmerized the guests with flashing lights,
pulsating rhythms, and images of art, cuts of meat and live stock.

The theme of Organic Sculpture was definitely the main thesis of the exhibit. Viewers lined up in front of Still life 33  by Steven Lee Matz ( Figures 1 & 2 ), a piece comprised of 75 sides of beef. As well as Clientele  and 3 sides of beef 3 times  by Seven Vegas ( Figure 3 ).
As the evening progressed most of the pieces were devoured by the onlookers, many of whom had spent the majority of the evening salivating like ravenous wolves and sipping white wine. Suddenly the lights flickered off and many of the guests ran off into the bitter cold which accompanied the night, some never to be seen again.
