Maurizio Cattelan is my new hero.
"What I’m interested in are images," Cattelan, most famous for his sculpture of a meteor-struck pope,told Interview magazine last year. The time is now ripe for artists to make prominent statements that comment on our world, he said. "If art is serious about claiming a central role in today’s society and culture, this is the best chance it’s had in ages.... I think it’s time for artists to get over auction houses, galleries, and high-production-value exhibitions and start using our voices again." Or at least our fingers.
