Step into the surreal and thought-provoking realm of Maurizio Cattelan, one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time. Showcased in the quintessential 1930s Art Deco Villa of Serralves and scattered throughout the surrounding park, this experience unites powerful sculptures and installations that challenge conventions and delve into historical traumas, societal norms, and human contradictions.
Meander through striking indoor and outdoor environments where art blends with nature and architecture. Uncover a variety of characters – from historical figures to animals – in dramatic scenes that blur the boundary between reality and fiction. This temporary exhibition incites profound contemplation while stirring laughter, unease, and curiosity.
Each location has been carefully selected to heighten the emotional and visual resonance of the artworks. The outcome is a multisensory journey that encourages you to interact with art in unforeseen ways, offering moments of awe, dark humour and deep reflection at every corner.
