Die erste große Schau Museumsschau von Gelatine "Chinese Synthese Leberkäse" im Bregenzer Kunsthaus beginnt im Erdgeschoß mit dem "Kakabet". Gedichte, zusammen gesetzt aus Fotos von zu Buchstaben geformtem menschlichen Kot. Im Mittelpunkt eine verspiegelte Toilette in Form eines Hochstandes mit ungewohntem Einblick. Im ersten Stock sind großformatige Plastilinbilder aus der Serie "Guernica" in Anlehnung an das berühmte Gemälde von Picasso gehängt und im zweiten Stock haben Gelatine ein ganzes Kino mit mehreren Sälen errichtet. In dem Film "How do I Survive the Afternoon" untersucht das Künstlerkollektiv unschuldig neugierig Körperfunktionen. Der im obersten Stock angelegte Schlammsaal musste aus technischen Gründen leider schon bald nach der Eröffnung geschlossen werden.
