WPS1 art radio host Althea Viafora Kress and Belgian artist Wim Delvoye sit down in Danny Meyer’s Café One at the Armory show 2007. Hear the social, cultural and political contradictions. His “Art Pig Farm” in China where Delvoye, a vegetarian, tattoos his pigs and “harvests” his art. The “Cloaca Machines” his sculpture that is fed in museums and has a digestive system from beginning to end. And Euterpe. Once you hear it and see it you can’t take their contradictions apart. It’s not classical art, modernism or formalism. It’s not high or low. What is this new pollination of practices? The Armory Show 2007, March 24, 2007. Part 1/2.

De Pury & Luxembourg presents the first show of Belgian artist Wim Delvoye with a new body of work in bronze. “Among the nine works produced for this show is one of the largest contemporary bronzes ever shown in Zurich, a nearly 10-meter long walk-through double helix sculpture consisting of eight Jesus Christ figures. The artist, who is widely known for his tattooed pigs he raises on a farm in China and for his cloaca machine, a digestion system that produces excrements out of food, this new body of work marks a major step within his oeuvre. Here, he combines ideas from former projects with a revolutionary technical development that allows him to distort iconic subjects with greatest perfectionism.” (PR DPLZH, PDF). De Pury & Luxembourg, Löwenbräu Areal, Zürich/Switzerland. Season opening, August 25, 2006.
