Like a mad scientist performing strange experiments in his basement, Italian artist Roberto Cuoghi tests the limits of self-representation and pushes the limits of art making. 2000 Words: Roberto Cuoghi is part of a new series conceived and commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni, and published by the Deste Foundation. Displaying a wide array of Cuoghi's work in the Dakis Joannou Collection, this volume includes an essay by Ali Subotnick that investigates the ideas of constant transformation and change that are at the core of the artist's work.
