As his bullet-riddled panels go up at Gagosian, the artist, in a rare in-person interview, tells why he turned his sardonic gaze on a violence-filled world
Cattelan has experimented with gunshots before, shooting up American and British flags, or rather, having them shot. The artist, who is based in Milan and New York, maintains no studio, much less a shooting range, and his works are almost always fabricated by others. With “Sunday,” Cattelan sought to universalize the symbol of violence, dropping the nationalistic imagery of flags and leaving “just the shootings.”
