Saturday 23.11.2024 kl 10.30
Kunsthall 3,14 invites both young and old to watch the critically acclaimed animated film Escape from the Chicken Coop!
An empathetic, dramatic and funny story unfolds in a small chicken farm in the English countryside. On the farm live a large group of hens whose job is to lay eggs. When the farmers, Mrs and Mr Tweedy, want to change their operation and use the chickens as pie filling, an escape plan is hatched to avoid ending up on the dinner table. The optimistic flock of chickens is helped by a parachutist, a Gallic rooster named Rocky. Together, they develop a plan to escape from the hen house, where Mrs. and Mr. Tweedy have bred them to become prolific egg-laying machines. The film mixes humour, adventure and a strong theme of freedom and resistance to exploitation and oppression, and has an engaging story for both children and adults.
Escape from the chicken coop (originally "Chicken Run") is an animated film from 2000. The film is an exciting introduction to the themes in the exhibition The Cosmopolitan Chicken Project by the Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen at Kunsthall 3,14. The exhibition challenges us to take a closer look at chickens, an animal we often take for granted in society. By crossing different chicken populations around the world, the artist fights against health problems created by inbreeding and industrial agriculture. Like many other species, chickens have been bred to satisfy human needs, without regard for the health and welfare of the animals. Vanmechelen's project is an intervention in modern agricultural practices. At the same time, the project mirrors human society and reflects on themes such as identity and globalisation.
The escape from the chicken coop offers optimism and is a wonderful inspiration about determination and resilience. The solution-oriented chickens are lively and have a positive attitude - they find countless methods to cope with the obstacles in their lives. The chickens do not succeed at the first attempt, but try again and again. The critically acclaimed film has gained status as a modern classic in the animation genre.
