And when I asked you how you’d been I meant I missed you more than I’ve ever missed anything before.

Maurizio Cattelan, All @ Guggenheim New York in 2011/2012
All, is a collection of work he has done since 1989–sculptures, works on paper, photographs and prints–that wisely uses the interior open space of the museum, hanging the pieces from the ceiling in an intricate weave. Creating a massive beautiful piece on its own, the way the pieces are arranged, like puppets in a grand show, makes for a dramatic scene and emphasizes the variety and yet interconnected thread of subversion that occurs throughout his various pieces.
The Euthanasia Coaster is a concept for a steel roller coaster designed to kill its passengers. In 2010, it was designed and made into a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London. Urbonas, who has worked at an amusement park, stated that the goal of his concept roller coaster is to take lives “with elegance and euphoria.” It is a ride to the death. The seven loops or “inversions” put the human body under such stress that it causes the brain to be starved of oxygen, as the heart simply cannot push blood against the enormous g-forces. Even if it kills you, it is designed to still be a fun death. An honorable thought, if rather macabre.
