“She’s a still actress,” says Cattelan of Evangelista. “At the end, she
was so tuned-in that all she needed were a couple of words and she

in London that runs through January. In February a show focusing on
his large-scale works will open at the Menil Collection in Houston.
Cattelan cocurated the Berlin Biennial in 2006 and lives in New York
