The Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists is holding their first exhibition at the Creative Electric Studios in Minneapolis.
"The organization's mandate is to advocate the showmanship of oddities; espouse the belief in natural adaptation and mutation; and encourage the desire to create displays of curiosity."
And here's a letter from the National Taxidermists Association in response to a request for feedback on the exhibit:
If you are looking for approval for this so called"art", I am afraid you have come to the wrong place.
Displays of wounded,bleeding or mangled animals is not in any form,"art" The members of the NTA
are truly professional taxidermists and as such can be called artists,and most, if not all, abhor your
desplays[sic].You can surely be called a Rogue taxidermist.
