	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts features \| Interview: Maurizio Cattelan
		Currently, Cattelan is recovering from an attack of "art rage": a Milanese man was so incensed by his "installation" of three children hanging by their necks, eyes open, from a tree that he cut them down.
		Cattelan is often described as a Shakespearian fool, expressing universal truths about themes such as power, death and authority through what appear to be jokes or stunts: a stuffed squirrel that has shot itself at the kitchen table, Pope John Paul II struck down by a meteorite, a child like Hitler praying on his knees.
		And Cattelan has persuaded numerous curators to join in: one was made to wear a giant, phallic, pink bunny outfit throughout a five-week show, while two others had to pedal dynamo bikes to generate the exhibition lighting.

	Guggenheim Museum - Exhibitions - Recent Acquisitions: Contemporary Sculpture - Maurizio Cattelan
		While his art-historical predecessor may be the Dadaist punster Marcel Duchamp, Cattelan is heir to a much broader tradition—that of the clown, a tragicomic figure with a particular resonance in the artist's native Italy, birthplace of commedia dell'arte and the films of Federico Fellini and Roberto Benigni.
		Cattelan, on the other hand, is a trickster who stirs up trouble in an all-too-complacent world.
		Maurizio Cattelan's La Rivoluzione siamo noi (We are the revolution) is on view until February 6, 2005.

		Cattelan brought his bad taste to New York's Museum of Modern Art when, in 1998, he arranged for an actor in an over-sized cartoon Pablo Picasso mask to meet and greet visitors.
		Cattelan said he was satirising the postmodern museum and its similarity to a high-cultural Disneyland.
		Statement by Maurizio Cattelan on Untitled 1998: I made a caricature of Picasso in the manner of Walt Disney: striped Tee-Shirt and sandals.

	SECESSION
		Maurizio Cattelan (born in Padua in 1960) belongs to the younger generation of artists in Italy who have lent conceptual art a new dimension.
		Cattelan uses the characteristic parameters he sees in the specific context of each of his exhibitions as a starting point for his own subversive happenings.
		Maurizio Cattelan's project for the Vienna Secession conforms to those ambivalent, tragic-comic "reality games" that, apart from criticising public institutions severely, also feature (as in the present case) themes such as apartheid, exploitation and racism.

		Cattelan’s new intervention is an upside down monument: a frontal attack, and a disarmed figure of loss, Frank and Jamie is a call to truce in a moment of crisis.
		Since the early 1990s, Maurizio Cattelan’s work has provoked and challenged the limits of contemporary value systems through its use of irony and humor.
		Maurizio Cattelan was born in Padua, Italy in 1960.

		The Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's first exhibition at Anthony d'Offay Gallery is a site-specific installation at no. 9 Dering Street.
		Working in a variety of media, which ranges from performance to photography and taxidermy, Cattelan has a reputation for being one of the enfant terribles of the art world, and has been described as a trickster, an anarchist and a jester.
		As a result, Cattelan's work often mocks the art establishment : At the Museum of Modern Art in New York's Project 65 last year, the artist hired an actor whom he outfitted with an oversized Pablo Picasso mask and sailor top to greet visitors to the Museum.

		Jokes and pranks are common in art but what makes Maurizio Cattelan special is that his are funny.

		Maurizio Cattelan's artworks target power structures—institutions, laws, and ideological constructs, such as social norms, party lines, and organized religions.
		The level of controversy he has managed to create around his practice is a testament to the strength of visual representation to engage in the largest and most difficult issues of our time.
		Cattelan is relentless in his analysis of human cruelties and iconoclastic in his choice of weapons.

		Cattelan and Gonzalez-Foerster invited their artist friends to contribute pages to it, and the magazine has been appearing mysteriously and irregularly ever since, in art bookstores and a few other locations.
		Produced these days by Cattelan and his friend Paolo Manfrin, in Milan, it is a random assembly of unrelated images -- ads, news photos, fashion shots, porno, urban scenes -- with occasional flurries of text in various languages.
		Stumped once again (or pretending to be), he sold his space to an advertising agency, which used it to display a huge ad for Schiapparelli perfume.

		Maurizio Cattelan is considered the best living Italian artist, according to art critics surveyed by Flash Art (Italian edition), when they compiled their top 100 in March 1999.
		One of my favorite Flash Art covers ever was of a Maurizio Cattelan work featuring a startlingly unforgettable image of a stripe-shirted Picasso with a giant head, and outstretched arms, greeting the viewer in front of a large, graphically powerful Liechtenstein interior (pictured).
		Cattelan hired a professional actor to wear the giant head-sculpture and interact with the public in the Museum of Modern Art.

		The price just paid for Cattelan's horse (whose real life name as a racehorse was Tiramisu, if anyone is interested) reflects the high current market value for anything by the artist as his most controversial piece, far out-distancing the horse in shock value was 'The Ninth Hour' shown in the R.A.'s Apocalypse exhibition this year.

		Maurizio, of course, will continue to have autonomy in executing his vision on a global scale, while benefiting from having me as a supportive partner.

		An exceptional event, the bestowal of an honorary degree in Sociology to Maurizio Cattelan by the University of Trento, is the occasion for the opening of one of the artist's new projects, specifically made for the Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea Trento (Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art Trento - Italy).
		A direct attack to the authority of education, but also a disarming portrait of the artist as a child, the installation of Maurizio Cattelan plays with the contradictory tradition of the local Faculty of Sociology, and draws back also to a centennial history of insubordination and mocking rites against professors.
		At the same time it is a tribute to popular wisdom and a snigger against the establishment; Maurizio Cattelan's sculpture depicts an inside-out world, carrying on his research as an artist in the look-out of new strategies to turn the world upside-down.

		Cattelan worked as a gardener, mortuary attendant, and designer, among other things, before turning to making art.
		He identifies the vulnerable aspects of the art system, and of reality in general, in order to highlight them, without ever falling into the naive trap of thinking he can subvert a system of which he is part.
		Cattelan likes to play the role of the loser, even if he definitely seems a winner: he is one of the best-known Italian artists to have emerged internationally in the 1990s, and his reputation continues to grow.

		“Maurizio Cattelan has a reputation in the art world of playing the clown, a trickster of sorts, juggling shamelessly with the traditions of art, literature and popular culture.
		In many ways, Cattelan himself uses similar techniques as his art embraces the absurd, using ironic wit to make critical commentary on the state of art and modern life.
		Cattelan carefully manipulated the poses and environments in which these animals were situated, in so doing, projecting new meanings on to the works themselves.

		As all of Cattelan's projects, Now is first and foremost an image which mirrors our hysterias and fears, as it turns into a receptacle of anxieties and a medium of communication.
		Cattelan has participated in five editions of the Venice Biennale (2003, 2001, 1999, 1997, 1993) as well as in many other collective exhibitions such as Manifesta (1998) and the Whitney Biennial (2004).

		Behind a fl curtain dividing the gallery on Saturday, in addition to pushing his earlier product range of "Bootlegs" of hot artists, he was offering a ziplock bag of five miniature masks for $100 (a price at or near the high end for his pieces).

		Maurizio Cattelan is one of the most talked about artists working today.
		His installations, sculptures, and performances claim a territory based in Arte Povera, minimalism, and Duchampian ideals; but carry a specific sense of humor and societal critique in their "slice of life" presentation that is seemingly antithetical to these forms.
		Consistently defying age-old perceptions of art as a source of truth, Cattelan focuses tightly on segments of reality while throwing in a twist for good measure.
