Published by Rectapublishers.

This comprehensive volume reproduces in loving detail all of Delvoye's preliminary drawings for his infamous Cloaca project--in which a giant machine replicates the human digestive system by "eating" twice a day, digesting and eliminating.

Wim Delvoye: Early Works (1968-1971)

Published by Rectapublishers.
Artwork by Wim Delvoye.

Belgian artist Wim Delvoye was born in 1965. This book presents his very earliest work, from prekindergarten through the beginnings of elementary school. Preserved by his prescient mother, they show how a young child is being directed, limited, and influenced by contemporary iconography, and offer, as well, an ironic commentary on contemporary art and the merchandising that accompanies the current art scene.

Wim Delvoye: ScatalogueWim Delvoye: Scatalogue

Published by Merz.
Essays by Peter Bexte and Pierre Sterckx. Foreword by Thierry Prat. Introduction by Jean-Hubert Martin.

Scatalogue, a combination of catalogue and scatology--scatology being the study of fecal excrement and an obsession with excretory functions--is a fitting title for a publication devoted to Wim Delvoye's latest work. A smelly hit in its new and improved version at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York this past year, and an equally natural sensation in Antwerp, Dusseldorf, Lyon, Milan, and Pori, Finland, Cloaca, Delvoye's perfect shit making machine, constitutes a major shift in the artist's oeuvre. Scatalogue also features art works from the rest of Delvoye's world, including shovels, gas cans, concrete mixers, and caterpillars, as well as X-rays and stained glass.

Wim Delvoye: Cloaca - New & ImprovedWim Delvoye: Cloaca - New & Improved

Published by Rectapublishers.
Essays by Georges Bataille, Dan Cameron, Salvador Dalí, Milan Kundera, Domique Laporte, Gerardo Mosquera, Dieter Roelstraete, Peter Sloterdijk and Peter Bexte.

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.

Wim Delvoye: Cloaca

Published by Ludion.
Essay by Yona Zimmerman.

Perpetrator, prankster, unlicensed scatologist--Wim Delvoye wears many hats in this book documenting his exposure of certain hidden--often orifice-related--aspects of our existence. In his new monograph, this Belgian post-Pop artist continues to create works that transcend traditional categorical distinctions--when it comes to Delvoye, we speak not of painting or sculpture but of semiotic installations. His works Windroos, Xrub'se, and Concrete Mixer S.P. II--all documented here--debunk centuries of Western anal retentiveness in one fell poop. The remarkable list of authors whose texts contribute to this volume--including such luminaries as Georges Perec, Piero Camporesi, Raymond Roussel, Milan Kundera, John Berger, and Georges Bataille--testifies to the deep theoretical, literary, and of course artistic resonance of his work. Delvoye's work evidences a supreme humorous and creative intelligence rarely seen in today's art world--his work never fails to enlighten and entertain with its irreverence and style.
