Maurizio Cattelan Interviews Francesco Vezzoli in Artribune Magazine
Artribune Magazine #64 features a cover artwork by Maurizio Cattelan, created specifically for the issue. The cover coincides with the closing of Cattelan's major exhibition 'Breath Ghosts Blind' at HangarBicocca in Milan. In conjunction with the show, Marsilio published 'Index', a book collecting conversations where Cattelan acts as interviewer. The magazine reprints a 2014 interview with Francesco Vezzoli originally published in Flash Art International, translated into Italian, alongside a new unpublished second installment. The 2014 interview consists of a series of hypothetical questions ('If you were...') answered by Vezzoli, covering topics from art and film to sexuality and politics. The 2021 follow-up continues the same format with new prompts. The article is written by Marco Enrico Giacomelli.
