This catalog documents Condo's (born 1957) exhibition The Mad and The Lonely, the site-specific installation at the DESTE Foundation's Project Space at the Slaughterhouse on the island of Hydra in Greece, which included a number of small-scale paintings and sculptures selected from the artist's long career and recontextualized in the storied space.
