Mr. Delvoye is in a sense strictly, if elaborately, Duchampian. Instead of
presenting a plumbing fixture as sculpture, he is focusing on the
physiological process that precedes the use of such fixtures, presenting it
factually. (A cloaca is a single waste hole found on reptiles, amphibians,
birds and many fish that expels both urine and feces.) His work is often
scatological and nearly always involved with cycles of value and waste.


A Human Masterpiece
by Els Fiers

Delvoye has given a name to his harsh creature: Cloaca, referring to
the ancient sewer in Rome. But while the cloaca maxima proved to
be useful, this Cloaca goes beyond every purpose, except of course
revealing of the meaning of art. So, too, the spending and earning of
money is part of its purpose. The machine daily delivered turds that
were signed and sold for $1,000 each.


Delvoye is fast developing a reputation on the international art
circuit as something of a hard case. His work regularly appears on the
auction block -- last November, an elaborately carved wood cabinet
filled with 32 circular saw blades painted with scenes in Delft China
blue sold for $21,150 at Christie's New York. Visitors to the 2000
Venice Biennale probably noticed his life-sized carved walnut replica
of a cement truck.

And his continuing project, a herd of pigs covered with tattoos done
by the best needle-men Antwerp's red-light district has to offer, is
currently appearing at venues around the globe. Marcel, a pig
adorned with a Harley-Davidson tattoo, has visited several European
cities, while Bonnie and Clyde spent last Thanksgiving at the San
Francisco Art Institute and Boris and Tatiana went to the Moscow
Art Fair. The artist also makes stuffed tattooed pigs (one sold at
auction in 1998 for $12,500) and tattooed pig skins ($4,830 in
1999). Delvoye lives and works in Ghent.
