{"product_id":"wim-delvoye-cloaca-new-improved","title":"Wim Delvoye: Cloaca - New \u0026 Improved","description":"Borrowing its name from the ancient sewer in Rome, Belgian conceptualist Wim Delvoye's new and improved \"Cloaca\" is a room-sized shit-making machine whose bowels process two meals a day, serving up a mouthful of complex themes: scatalogy and disgust, high and low culture, man as machine and vice-versa, and the inversion of art semiotics. Many of these same concerns are processed in Delvoye's other work, like the life-sized carved walnut replica of a cement truck, the wood cabinet stocked with 32 circular saw blades painted with scenes in Delft China blue, and a herd of pigs tatooed by Antwerp's finest needle-men. Feces and other anal subjects are parsed in accompanying essays by such luminaries as Milan Kundera, Gerardo Mosquera, Dan Cameron, Georges Bataille and Salvador Dali.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 909015387X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.909015387X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bataille, Georges|Delvoye, Wim|Dali, Salvador|Roelstraete, Dieter|Mosquera, Gerardo|Kundera, Milan|Cameron, Dan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
