Longhorn member features in V&A Exhibition!

09/10/2019


It's not often we hear about Longhorn members featuring in exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum! Malcolm Adams from Wrexham, North Wales was asked to provide a Longhorn to artist Alice V Robinson for her installation as part of the 'FOOD: bigger than the plate' exhibition at the V&A.  As Malcolm didn't have a purebred finished Longhorn available he supplied her with a Longhorn/Limousin cross.

Alice's installation features products made from the tanned hide of the animal, as well as pictures of Malcolm's local butcher processing the meat which has been served at other events at the V&A and is the centrepiece of a sold out event on 17 October when a three course meal using the steer will be cooked by Michelin starred chef Sally Abe. 

The exhibition itself continues until 20 October.
