"Carried Away -- Processions in Art" is an exhibition for the Sonsbeek Festival at Arnhem Museum of Modern Art in the Netherlands. The exhibition features a selection of Dutch and international artists who have organized processions, or have been influenced by processions, political parades, carnival parades, marches or funeral processions. "Some art processions," says the Arnhem's press release, "are in veneration, others are homages, or express protest, criticism or questioning. For instance, the exhibition features a film of a carnival parade in which Joseph Beuys joins the people in solidarity to protest the high price paid for his own work by a museum. The exhibition also features life-sized pigs by Stephen Wilks, which have been carried around by people and refer to George Orwell's book Animal Farm."
