Whether they are dogs, cats or hamsters \u2013 they enrich our lives. Reliable, loyal and dependent, pets are generally regarded as better companions \u2013 especially for those who have been let down or overwhelmed by people. Yet the shared evolution of humans and animals tells stories of subjugation and one-sided exploitation, but also of mutual dependence and companionship. Under capitalism, this has given rise to a very specific cultural form, with its own spaces, products, lifestyles and trade fairs: animals are loved and needed, overbred, overfed, anthropomorphised and idolised. But what utopian potential lies within these forms of relationship? An exhibition at the fair, curated by Johanna Pichlbauer and Markus Waitschacher, featuring dogs, cats, pigeons, yeast bacteria, soft toys, vermin, robotic care units and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists:<br>Kr\u00f5\u00f5t Juurak &amp; Alex Bailey, Anouk Lamm Anouk, Altynai Osmo, Dominik Louda &amp; Marc-Alexandre Dumoulin &amp; Susanna Hofer, Edith Payer &amp; Sasha Pirker, Anna Jermolaewa, Julia Walk &amp; Mara Linden &amp; Rivka Saltiel, Edda Strobl, Alfred Lenz, Clemens Setz &amp; Jana Volkman, Valie Export &amp; Peter Weibel, Danielle Alhassid, filzm\u00e4use, Kamilla Bischof, Yarema Malashchuk &amp; Roman Khimei, Blanka Hedvig, Juri Velt, Ege K\u00f6kel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Graz Pet Fair<\/strong><br>14.11.2026 \u2013 23.01.2027<br>FORUM STADTPARK<br>Stadtpark 1<br>8010 Graz<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forumstadtpark.at\">www.forumstadtpark.at<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14.11.2026 \u2013 23.01.2027 Pets are part of our everyday lives.
