TIL of ROGUE TAXIDERMY: an art movement using traditional elements of taxidermy in an unconventional manner.
An introduction to the rogue revolution
The introduction of Rogue Taxidermy created a trend in the art world that changed the perception and assumptions about taxidermy, not only in galleries, but also in contemporary aesthetics. Its presence in galleries has carried over into popular culture, as attested to by the countless home decor magazines and shop window displays that now include taxidermy elements. The trio’s experimental and unorthodox use of taxidermy materials, coupled with their ethical reframing of them, jump-started a taxidermy revival in North America and laid the foundation for what has since exploded into a global phenomenon. Taxidermy is now enjoying a universal level of popularity that it hasn’t experienced since the Victorian era.
