Juan Gatti, guest star

Celebrated for his talent and creativity, Gatti will receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Buenos Aires and be the focus of an exhibition showcasing his work as art director and designer.

Gatti (Buenos Aires, 1950) made the posters for Pedro Almodóvar's historical films, including Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, High Heels, Kika, The Flower of My Secret, Live Flesh, Talk to Her, Bad Education, Volver, Broken Embraces, The Skin I Live In, Pain and Glory, The Human Voice, Strange Way of Life, and The Room Next Door. The installation in FADU’s main hall will feature posters and art direction materials from these productions.

Legend in graphic design and art direction across the Americas and Europe, with Buenos Aires, New York, and Madrid (where he has lived for the past five decades) as the main stages of his creative genius, the work of Gatti spans collaborations with key figures in film, music, and fashion, most notably Pedro Almodóvar, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Peter Lindbergh, and Karl Lagerfeld.
