The first painting must have been undoubtedly that of a child. With many artists, the childish preoccupation with smearing finds its continuation as a sensual play, with colour in its haptic quality. Colour is not only seen but also felt and touched. With some kinds of art, this revelling in pigment even constitutes its special appeal. Ca-ca poo-poo (the rather provocative title refers to a child's expression for faeces in American English) endeavours to trace this phenomenon with works by internationally renowned artists as well as young artists still awaiting discovery, such as Angela Bulloch, Tracey Emin, Mikc Kelley, Fabian Marcaccio, Paul McCarthy, Mark Millof, Carl Ostendarp, Steven Parrino, Christina Serry, Lauren Szold, Tony Tasset, Martin Walde and Franz West.
