Checkpoint Charley

"Charley" is a series of publications edited by Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick. A voracious creature fixated on the assimilation and consumption of visual art, the fourth issue, "Checkpoint Charley, " brings together images of works produced by more than 700 artists encountered by the curators of the 4th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art during their research. A multiform creature, "Charley" takes on a new theme and shape with every issue: the first featured 400 emerging artists, the second documented the 2001-2002 New York art season, and "Charley 03" presented forgotten artists from the 80s and early 90s. The 4th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art is funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation. "Checkpoint Charley" is realized with the support of the Culture 2000 program of the European Union.
