Toiletpaper Magazine 20 by Maurizio Cattelan

Toiletpaper is an artists’ magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toiletpaper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art, which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

Maurizio Cattelan has exhibited internationally in leading institutions and has participated in the Venice Biennale numerous times. He curated the 4th Berlin Biennale with Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick. Cattelan also conceived the art magazines Permanent Food and Charley. After the acclaimed 2011 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, he has committed himself to publishing Toiletpaper magazine.

Pierpaolo Ferrari is a fashion and advertising photographer and creative researcher. In 2007 he began a collaboration with L’Uomo Vogue. In 2009, he teamed with Maurizio Cattelan to create Toiletpaper.
