Cattelan in Trento

Maurizio Cattelan celebrates his honorary degree from the sociology faculty of the University of Trento with a decidedly irreverent project: one of his installations occupies, through the end of September, the entrance hall of the institution.

In the spirit of the faculty’s protest tradition, the ironic ‘manifesto’ recalls ancient carnival-like rites directed against the teaching classes. The Galleria Civica di Trento, organizer of the event, also dedicates a special issue of Work. Art in Progress to Cattelan: works, writings and the reasons that the sociology faculty bestowed such an honour on one of the most irreverent artists of our times. L.B.
