Issue 11 of Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's accessible image-based artists' magazine that challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy Toilet Paper is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toilet Paper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

'Toiletpaper' comprises startling photographs colliding commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery.

Inspired by the result of their collaboration, the duo founded Toiletpaper, a magazine born out of their shared passion for making unique and surprising images. Working together, Cattelan and Ferrari create photographs that fuse the vernacular of commercial image making with witty tableaux and surrealism. The result - Toiletpaper - is a bi-annual publication that is itself a work of art. Characterized by high production value and sharp humor, the images produced by Cattelan and Ferrari are instantly recognizable and reflective of their respective positions as renowned artist and acclaimed photographer.-from https://www.artandcommerce.com/artists/photographers/Maurizio-Cattelan---Pierpaolo-Ferrari/bio.

1968, the newest project by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's TOILETPAPER is an unorthodox and kaleidoscopic walk through the Dakis Joannou collection of Radical Design.A pivotal year for architecture, design and society, 1968 is a lavish collection of dreams and nightmares, a bold and inspiring compendium of colourful, ironic materials, objects, and bodies.TOILETPAPER's interpretation of the collection results in mind blowing photographs that trap us in a complex system of references, crossing layers, three dimensional and real time collages. 1968 is a rainbow, the memory of a storm and the positive projection of a newborn sun: the history plus the future, masterly shown in the drawings by one of the primary characters of the Radical Design movement, Alessandro Mendini, who adds a vital contribution to TOILETPAPER's visuals.Photographs by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, and drawings by Alessandro Mendini.
