Wim Delvoye at DHC/Art

Known for his controversial multidisciplinary artwork, Belgian artist Wim Delvoye takes the spotlight at DHC/ART with an exhibition that will delve deep into a range of related topics, from branding and economy to technology and globalization. The series Car Tyre (2011) elevates the status of the rubber tire to an object of art with hand carved ornamental designs. Included is a ­selection of Delvoye’s tattooed pigskins – a project that caused outcry among animal rights activists, and whose goal is to raise questions about class, value, and craft. November 30 to March 19. www.dhc-art.org
