Maurizio Cattelan: ALL
ends with the “Last Word”, a 7 hour marathon of 15 minute live contemplations on the “voluntary end”. The bravado of this artist has always intrigued me. From the Wrong Gallery to Gagosian Berlin, Toilet Paper, his mini self on a tricycle at the MOCA and the list goes on from all his work and presentations, actions and misbehavin’s Cattelan has been a critical inspiration that expanded and questioned the different paradigms of art stereotypes and takes some major risks. I’ll always remember seeing him on his foldable bicycle in New York, going to exclusive raves and art openings. As I remarked in my last post, it takes an end to make a new beginning, so I am thrilled at his announcement that this retrospective marks his finale as an artist because I will only look forward to what he is going to do next.
For a full list of artists performing at the Guggenheim for Last Word from Arthur Danto to Courtney Love, and the beloved Drew from Matmos whom I received this announcement from, go here. And if you aren’t in NY, then you can stream it live here at 3pm PST on January 21st.
