In collaboration with New York’s New Museum, Cattelan has asked some of the world’s biggest artists to contribute a selection of recorded bedtime stories. Aptly titled “Bedtime Stories”, the series kicks off with Iggy Pop, with a new bedtime story released every day until the end of June. In his bedtime story, Pop (who famously sung “I Wanna Be Your Dog”) speaks about a beloved stray dog from Mexico which was the ‘best part of his life’ but is ultimately run over by a car while eating some trash. From Takashi Murakami to Marilyn Minter, Jeff Koons, and Rashid Johnson, anyone tuning in for some nighttime relief can expect to find artists reading a sentence, a passage, a chapter, or more from their favourite books, own works, writings, or by creating impromptu performances.
