I have people working together, doing different things: architecture, art installation, photography, publishing, and curatorial works and design.

Society becomes very destructive.

Today, we jump into this globalization of the economy and the internet age.

To survive, China had to open up to the West. It could not survive otherwise. This was after many millions have died of hunger in a country that was like North Korea is today. Once we became part of global competition, we had to agree to some rules. It's painful, but we had to. Otherwise there was no way to survive.

In the end, I think, the state's rigidity is a function of its own insecurity, its indecisiveness.

The biggest obstacle in interacting with China is the difference in perspectives about basic values. These include issues such as human rights, the concept of law and constitution.

I think it’s a responsibility for any artist to protect freedom of expression and to use any way to extend this power.
