Städtische Galerie im Park Viersen

You should have seen if you have some interest in art.

Regular art in the middle of the city - and with free admission. It doesn't exist everywhere either. So go there more often.

This artistic place deserves the best score! I would like to exhibit here!

Tarred rat carcasses that have been hung up on a kind of mobile are displayed here under the guise of art. The rats were caught and killed by the artist himself - all just for his "work of art". The gallery doesn't see anything bad about that, they don't want to remove the exhibit. Yes, art is supposed to stir up, maybe hurt feelings too, but no living being should be killed for art. That the killing of other living beings in the name of art is approved here is absurd. It's "just" rats, of course. But I guess that the reactions would have looked different if it were e.g. would have been puppies. Which is nonsense, however, since rats are also very intelligent and social animals that can very well feel pain and panic. Whatever. I think the gallery's decision to continue exhibiting this "work of art" or that this work was exhibited at all is very questionable. I would rather stay away from the gallery in the future.
