DETAILS
The “Museum League” scarves by Maurzio Cattelan are a simple yet ingenious re-interpretation of ordinary stadium scarves, transporting art to everyday life via the world of football. Showcasing a juxtaposition that is almost paradoxical, museum spaces are likened to stadiums - both places in which people come together and share a common passion - thanks to Cattelan’s hooligan “gadgets”, the evolution of which is made evident today. Exclusively for YOOX, the artist has created a unique scarf, which bares, instead of the name of a museum, the ironic phrase “Make love like war”, a paraphrase of the famous pacifist motto “make love not war”, behind which hides numerous possible meanings. “Make love like war”: Eros and Thanatos, love and death, primary and inseparable instincts, to put it à la Freud. But is this the meaning that the artist wanted to convey? Maybe, or maybe not, judging from the two profaning toilets on either end. But this is the poetic style of Maurizio Cattelan: no certainties, only possibilities.
