‘ToiletAlex PaperPrager’ magazine is an original project born from the encounter between the visionary world of ‘Toiletpaper’ and the uncanny imagery of Alex Prager, American artist, director, and screenwriter.

The magazine features a back-to-back of twelve images by Alex Prager and twelve conceived by ‘Toiletpaper’: the alluring aesthetics, vibrant colors, and characteristic visual deviations found in ‘Toiletpaper’ enhance Prager’s universe, and reciprocally so. The artist’s exploration of the delicate boundary between reality and fiction, utilizing her unique blend of archetypes, everyday objects, humor, and allegory, forms the core of a tantalizing and enigmatic journey.

This new magazine is in continuity with ‘ToiletMartin PaperParr’, a special publication that in 2018 collected the most iconic images from the prolific archives of the internationally renowned artist Martin Parr and the Cattelan-Ferrari duo.

‘ToiletAlex PaperPrager’ is also the name of the project featured at Toiletpaper Apartment in via Balzaretti 8, in Milan, from April 12 to April 21 on the occasion of the Milan Art Week and Milan Design Week. In conjunction with this event, from April 12 to 21 the American gallery Lehmann Maupin will exhibit in its new pop-up space in Milan (Via della Spiga 48) new works by Alex Prager in a group exhibition of internatinal artists.

Alex Prager (b. 1979, Los Angeles, California) is an American artist, director and screenwriter based in Los Angeles. Prager is known for her uncanny images and films that blur the line between artifice and reality to explore the human condition. She has exhibited at museums worldwide and received numerous awards, including the Foam Paul Huf Award and an Emmy Award, and most recently, her short film, ‘Run’ (2022), was nominated for the 2023 SXSW Grand Jury Award. Prager is currently in production for her directorial debut feature film, ‘DreamQuil’, co-written with her sister, Vanessa Prager.

Maurizio Cattelan has exhibited internationally in leading international institutions and has participated numerous times in the Venice Biennale. He curated the 4th Berlin Biennale together with Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick. In the meantime, he managed to promote ‘No soul for sale - A Festival of Independents’ that took place in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in 2010 along with giving birth to art magazines such as ‘Permanent Food’ and ‘Charley’. Since retiring from art, after the acclaimed retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, he totally committed himself to the new publishing project, ‘Toiletpaper’ magazine.

Pierpaolo Ferrari is a fashion and advertising photographer and creative researcher. In 2007 he began a productive contribution with ‘L’Uomo Vogue’ that offered him the chance to explore the portrait’s potential and radically change its codes. In 2009, the metamorphosis is completed thanks to sharing his new publishing obsession with Maurizio Cattelan: ‘Toiletpaper’ magazine. When he’s not shooting, he can be found surfing in Costa Rica.
