Catalogue Note
"Un artista lavora fino alla fine. Fare l'artista significa non andare in pensione, non avere vacanze nè domeniche. Non ci sono pause. Tutta la vita è racchiusa nel gesto o nel pensiero del creare. Non è un mestiere, è un'illuminazione. E' la morte...anche la morte, nella sua suprema incontrovertibilità, vi appartiene"
"An artist works till the end. To be an the artist means to not retire, to have no holidays nor Sundays. There are no breaks. All of life is contained in the act or in the thought of creation. It is not a profession, it is an enlightenment. It's death... even death, in its supreme incontrovertibly, belongs to you"
Jannis Kounellis
