Maurizio Cattelan: a striking portrait

Maurizio Cattelan (1960) made this self-portrait in 2002. A hole was made in the floor of the museum hall specially for this installation. With this, Cattelan breaks down the foundations of the museum, both literally and figuratively. The artist enjoys making fun of the museum as an institution. His works explore the borders between legal and illegal, responsible and immoral. In 2002, he exhibited a kneeling figure in Museum Boijmans van Beuningen of Hitler praying. This gave rise to enormous controversy: exactly Cattelan’s intention.

Boijmans TV Raw Material, Anne Wenzel

Withered flowers and a teddy bear on the asphalt of the Kleinpolderplein got her thinking about research into the image language of monuments and their role in keeping alive a memory. In this interview, Anne Wenzel explains that hot air can seem overblown, heavy and pompous and that the true emotion that is in the memory can easily be suppressed by building monuments and exploiting them as tourist attractions. We soon forget, as we photograph, what really happened. This interview is a compilation of an interview with Anne Wenzel in Boijmans TV (episode 4: real fake), which she gave on the occasion of her installation Requiem of Heroism (6 February - 3 October 2010). The interview is supplemented with material which could not, for time constraints, be included in the television programme.
