Maura Axelrod’s playful documentary, “Maurizio Cattelan: Be Right Back” from 2016, leaves no stone unturned in its quest to answer the question: Who is Maurizio Cattelan? She interviews curators, collectors, and even former girlfriends to understand what drives him.
Since the 1990s, Maurizio Cattelan’s (b. 1960) work has garnered worldwide attention and acclaim. As a self-taught artist, he has often perceived himself as being on the margins, in a position where he could scrutinise the art world from the outside. In his exhibitions, he has challenged our notions of what an exhibition is – as when he showed his entire artistic output at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2011, stipulating that they all had to be hung together, like laundry, from the ceiling of the museum’s rotunda.
The exhibition “The Third Hand – Maurizio Cattelan and Moderna Museet’s Collection” includes several of Maurizio Cattelan’s most iconic works alongside pieces that he has chosen from the Moderna Museet Collection.
The screening of “Maurizio Cattelan: Be Right Back” is a collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm.
