Cloaca No. 5, a sculpture that farts and poops, by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye, opened Friday in Montreal at the Universite du Quebec's art gallery. The installation, containing a series of tubes, vats, elctronic and structural parts, resembles a mini brewery more than anything.
According to this story on CBC, the sculpture is on exhibit courtesy of a $30,000 travel grant from the Canada Council.
This seems to be yet another chapter in the ongoing story of how the only way to get the art into the news in Canada is to do something controversial.
