Today's art news leans heavily on institutions and provocateurs. Maurizio Cattelan is defending his pranks as serious work ahead of a Berlin retrospective, while George Lucas finally opens his narrative art museum. Meanwhile, a documentary on Cosey Fanni Tutti promises to revisit a different kind of provocation.
Two heavyweights of the art world are making news for very different reasons: one is doubling down on his reputation as a prankster, the other is cementing a 17-year project.
Cattelan's interview is a classic defense of his work as more than stunts. The Berlin show will test whether audiences see the banana and the gold toilet as art or just gags, and his insistence on seriousness is the hook.
The Lucas Museum is finally real after 17 years, and Lucas frames it as a personal struggle that 'almost broke my will.' The Star Wars props are the draw, but the museum's real pitch is narrative art as a legitimate category.
A new documentary and a teenage photographer's triumph both celebrate artists who pushed boundaries in their own ways.
Cosey Fanni Tutti's story gets the documentary treatment, and the first stills promise a look at her 1976 exhibition that caused a scandal. It's a reminder of how much of her work was about testing limits, long before it was fashionable.
A 17-year-old wins a photography prize with a shot he planned for three years. The detail about 200 hours of bird study is the real story here: patience and obsession, not gear, made the image.
