Maurizio Cattelan. Photo: Pierpaolo Ferrari
Maurizio Cattelan is retiring from art making with his current retrospective. To mark the end of the exhibition (and the beginning of retirement), more than 30 prominent artists, philosophers, writers, comedians, filmmakers, actors, musicians, and more will come together to contemplate the end. More than just some winter morbidity, this event tackles that most difficult moment: to decide when to stop one thing and begin another or to end it altogether. Less strenuous than a long distance race and much more than a quick sprint, this event will be a meditative seven-hour jog around life's Central Park of pleasures, desires, and regrets.
The event is co-organized by Simon Critchley, Ph.D., Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy, the New School for Social Research, and Nancy Spector, Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, and curator of Maurizio Cattelan: All.
Organized as a series of brief 10-15 minute individual presentations, The Last Word begins at 6 pm and continues until 1 am. Admission is pay what you wish. The order of appearance is subject to change:

SOLD OUT
Standby tickets may be available if space allows. Please call the Box Office at 212 423 3587 for more information.New York City Opera will perform excerpts from the highly anticipated U.S. premiere of Prima Donna, singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright’s first foray into opera, described by the Times (London) as “a love song to opera, soaked in the perennial operatic themes of loss, betrayal, delusion and nostalgia, and saturated in the musical styles of opera’s golden age.” NYCO’s George Steel will moderate a discussion with Wainwright and members of the creative team.
Prima Donna will be performed February 19–25 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The post-performance reception for this program will take place in the theater lobbies.

Yael Bartana, ...and Europe will be stunned
$10, $7 members, free for students with a valid ID. To reserve a student ticket, please e-mail boxoffice@guggenheim.org.
Box Office: 212 423 3587
Yael Bartana (b. 1970, Israel) is an Israeli-Dutch artist and filmmaker based in Amsterdam and Tel Aviv. Her works examine and question widely accepted social rituals and structures regarding the cultural identity and historical construction of her native country and the tensions and conflicts that arise as a result. In her distinctive poetic approach, she balances the factual and the fictitious, documentation and propaganda, evoking ironic overtones to undermine certainties, turn symbols on their heads, and open up multiple new meanings.
Bartana was a recipient of the Artes Mundi Prize in 2010. Her recent project ...and Europe will be stunned was featured as the official Polish participation at the 54th International Art Exhibition in Venice in 2011.
This program is part of the Elaine Terner Cooper Education Fund: Conversations with Contemporary Artists series.
