Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari / TOILETPAPER Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC)
Step into the magical world of hyperrealist, absurdist installations and images with this extraordinary exhibition by TOILETPAPER. The creative studio and image-based magazine are led by pathbreaking Italian contemporary artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari.
The power duo’s exhibits are known for conjuring pop-culture inspired parallel universes of edgy and provocative visuals that investigate our current reality of hyperconsumption, making us question the way in which we engage with an increasingly virtual world, incessantly drowned in visual stimulation.
Curated by Mafalda Millies and Roya Sachs (TRIADIC) with Elizabeth Edelman (TRIADIC) as the executive producer, ‘RUN AS SLOW AS YOU CAN’ is TOILETPAPER’s largest exhibition till date. It mulls over the daily dualities of modern existence with four distinct chapters, using photography, design and architecture to take a closer, critical look at the homes we inhabit, the objects we own, and the people that surround us – all with a delicious dose of irony! Besides offering food for thought, the set-up brings you a whole lot of Insta-worthy frames with crazy pops of colour and fascinating elements.
