Maurizio Cattelan

Slaughterhouse, Hydra Island

A new sculptural gesture by the irreverent Italian artist. Continuing the artist's infatuation with funerary iconography, Cattelan's new work is a mysterious self-portrait which, when installed in the Slaughterhouse space, takes on an even more disturbing character. On this occasion is also launches the first issue of Toilet Paper, a new magazine directed by Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari.


comunicato stampa

In 2009 the DESTE Foundation inaugurated a project space on the island of Hydra in the Saronic Gulf, with Blood of Two, a joint collaboration between Matthew Barney & Elizabeth Peyton. Located in the island’s former slaughterhouse, DESTE’s Project Space provides a hyper-charged, unusual exhibition environment where site-specific presentations, special interventions and focused displays of individual artworks take place.

This year the Slaughterhouse hosts the European premiere of Maurizio Cattelan’s WE, a new sculptural gesture by the irreverent Italian artist. Continuing the artist’s infatuation with funerary iconography, Cattelan’s new work is a mysterious self-portrait which, when installed in the Slaughterhouse space, takes on an even more disturbing character.

On the occasion of Cattelan’s presentation at the Slaughterhouse, the DESTE Foundation also launches the first issue of Toilet Paper, a new magazine directed by Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. Following in the wake of Cattelan’s cult publication Permanent Food, Toilet Paper is a new generation magazine that combines commercial photography, twisted narratives and surrealistic imaginary to create a series of powerful visual tableaux.

The first three issues of Toilet Paper are powered by the DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art as a satellite project of Maurizio Cattelan’s exhibition.
