Wim Delvoye, Cloaca, New Museum of Contemporary Art, Folded Guide and Press Release, 2002
$150
“This exhibition of Wim Delvoye’s large scale installation Cloaca represents the first ever solo presentation by a US museum of the acclaimed young Belgian artist’s work… Cloaca is fed twice a day from a large funnel reached by climbing a stepladder… The food is chewed by a garbage disposal device before traveling on a 40-hour-long distance trajectory, through components that are Cloaca’s stomach, pancreas, and small and large intestines… The product finally goes through a separator and the remaining solids are extruded onto a revolving plate.”
