Art Is Not About Understanding, It’s About

Art Has To Change Things, And If It Was Immediately Acceptable It Would Not Be Doing The Job.

It Is As Much The Conversations Between Objects As Between Us And Objects That Make Museums So Valuable.

Maybe This Is A Utopian View Of Art But I Do Believe That Art Can Function As A Vehicle, That It Isn't Just A Cultural Pursuit, Something That Happens In Art Galleries. Unless Art Is Linked To Experience And The Fear And Joy Of That, It Becomes Mere Icing On The Cake.

Well, I Think Critics Are Very Useful. But I Think That They, In A Way, Betray Their Position When They Stop People Looking For Themselves. Judgment Is Very Easy, But I Think, On The Whole, Professional Critics Maybe See Too Much, And Compare Too Much, And Forget The Joy Of Actually Looking And Contemplating For Its Own Sake.

I Have To Say That I Reject Somewhat The Distinction Between Something Called Art And Something Called Public Art. I Think All Art Demands And Desires To Be Seen.
