In 2006, Belgian conceptual artist Wim Delvoye introduced the world to his "Cloaca Machine", a mechanical art work that actually digests food and turns it into excrement, finally fulfilling Vaucanson's wish for a working digestive automation.
Mains d'Oeuvres has held several exhibitions showcasing artists such as Wim Delvoye, Thomas Hirschhorn, Sophie Calle, Jon Bernad, Neil Beloufa, Pauline Bastard, Ivan Argote, Dominique Blais, Etienne Jaumet, Herman Dune, and Marie Hendriks.
The castle of Corroy-le-Château, one of the best conserved castles of this period in Northern Europe was bought by a Flemish artist Wim Delvoye for EUR 3.3 million.
However after two years of discussion with David Walsh, Delvoye agreed to construct a custom Cloaca built specifically for the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Tasmania.
