The following text was commissioned by Flash Art Italia for a special issue called “Agenda 2025”. The paper issue is damn good, but if you just want to read or run some words into an automatic translation machine, here is my text…

La commedia delle immagini: Maurizio Cattelan

Texts

Flash Art Italia commissioned me a piece about Maurizio Cattelan’s Comedian. The article is now available on the printed magazine (Issue 348, March – April 2020) and on the web magazine. On this occasion, the website revived an older piece I wrote in 2012 about Cattelan’s work, titled “When an Image Becomes a Work. Premesse a un’iconografia di Cattelan” and focused on his relationship with vernacular images, internet memes and popular re-use of his own imagery. Both pieces are in Italian, but the older one is still available in English on Poool.info. Enjoy!
