Wim Delvoye's Gothic Chapel and Tattooed Pigs at Perrotin
Wim Delvoye's exhibition at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris (March 10 to May 12, 2007) features a stainless steel Gothic chapel, four pigs, tattoo drawings, and videos. The chapel's stained glass windows depict X-rays of intestines and scenes of human and pig copulation, subverting spiritual iconography. Delvoye's work continues the tradition of Marcel Broodthaers, playing on antagonisms.
