Maurizio Cattelan

Nineteen sixty-eight was a pivotal year that grew more intense with each day. As thousands of Vietnamese and Americans were killed in war, students across four continents took over colleges and city streets. Assassins murdered Dr. King and Robert F. Kennedy. Demonstrators turned out in Prague and Chicago, and in Mexico City, young people and Olympic athletes protested.

Cattelan's piece 'Untitled' was made as part of an edition of ten, so there are ten of these miniature elevators scattered around the world, including in the LACMA in Los Angeles. The owner of the elevators can decide on which floor the elevator will 'arrive' at its destination and the doors will open.In Museum Voorlinden, the doors open on the ground floor, although the lights above the doors movefrom B throught 9 and back.

"The American-born Dorothy Iannone occupies a distinct place as an artist in the second half of the twentieth century. Her oeuvre includes painting, visual narrative, autobiographical texts, and films. Since the 1960s she has been seen as a pioneering spirit against censorship, and one who supports free love and autonomous female sexuality. This retrospective catalogue illustrates the intermediality and radical subjectivty of this unique artistic opus, and aims to highlight the innovative energy of Dorothy Iannone's art, revealing the art historical implications of her imagery. The catalogue contains around two hundred illustrations of her works as wll as numerous photographs from the artists' personal archive, which are published here for the first time."

"Written in an engaging style by long-term Cattelan collaborator, and New Museum curator, Massimiliano Gioni, the volume recounts the many editions, and ephemeral projects spawned by the New York-based Italian artist. Gioni's text goes much further than merely listing the works in catalogue raisonne form. In a tongue-in-cheek and magisterial style, perhaps not even penned by the author, and often writing about himself in the third person, Gioni demonstrates the delicate crossovers between friendship and work, the essential ingredients in the creation of an artist's opus. Though the text (once again hand-painted calligraphy subsequently typeset) and images--also painted in miniature form--takes on an authoritative tone, the knowledge that Cattelan has been the generator of this volume, in form and content, reveal his his fluid entry into editorial, publishing, and other conventions usually not deemed "artistic." Illustrations are supplied masterfully by Chinese painter, Fu Site. The volume "Cattelan" (3) completes an ambitious series begun in 2007 by Three Star Books, though all await with great curiosity, whether the artist will continue to publish after his impending retirement."--Www.threestarbooks.com/CATTELAN_3.
