| Summary: | Discusses the work of the Belgian artist Wim Delvoye (b.1965), focusing on his use of pigskin for the works Mickey Mouse, Jezus (2001; illus.), and Everybody Loves Sunshine (2001; illus.). The author traces the history of Delvoye's use of pigs, with reference to January, October et November from the series Chapel (2001), Shit (2000), Finger Pig< /i> (2000), Lick Pig (2001), and Marble Floors (1999), highlights his exhibitions at Galerie Tanit in Munich (1995) and a sculpture museum in Middleheim, Belgium (1997), and considers how his work evokes the links between humans and pigs. He notes the qualities of pigskin, explores Delvoye's tattooing of the material, and concludes by analysing the symbolism of the works. |
