all

an impromptu visit to the guggenheim unveiled quite a production by maurizio cattelan titled simply, all. it is his retrospective set in the most unconventional way.

a master of puppetry of sorts suspended from the atrium with notions of humor, pain, tragedy and whimsy. maurizio cattelan had the last laugh.

this installation is atypical of my aesthetic, nevertheless it has conviction and passion. it clearly shows a point of view that is solid in its foundation.

"all" reminded me that we each engage in the play of life with a cast of characters of our choosing and we each orchestrate the final act of these various chapters within the narrative... and sometimes, to leave and let be is more powereful then to act.
