Order of Things

“Elegant vandalism”In 2024, the Musée d’art et d’histoire de Genève (MAH) awarded a Carte Blanche for the fourth time: to the Belgian artist Wim Delvoye. The museum’s collection and archives are presented alongside Delvoye’s installations and sculptures, as well as with his own collections of everyday objects and media images. Delvoye engulfs us in a playful and associative abundance of objects, references and interventions. He wrests objects from our habitual ways of seeing and casts them in a new light—an approach that this virtuoso of ambivalence calls “elegant vandalism.”
