"For as long as I can remember in the art world, when somebody wanted to denounce a work of art as really awful, they would say, 'Well, it's a piece of shit.' Now, if you say that about [Wim Delvoye's] 'Cloaca,' you're just describing its whole purpose." -- Hilton Kramer, critic
Some -- like Kramer -- imply that Cloaca doesn't only make crap, it IS crap. Wim Delvoye argues that the machine comments on a host of human and social conditions, including nuclear waste, human waste, advances in biotechnology, medical achievements and life itself. No matter what anyone thinks about this work of art, there's one thing that everyone agrees on -- it stinks!
