I always want to design a frame that’s open to everyone. I don’t see art as a secret code.

I don't personally feel any association with a kind of culture related to state, or culture related to power, which I think is always disgusting.

I call on people to be 'obsessed citizens,' forever questioning and asking for accountability. That's the only chance we have today of a healthy and happy life.

To call yourself a Chinese artist or woman artist or African artist reflects a certain kind of condition. To me, that is not necessary.

Because Chinese art is booming, it legitimizes this profession.

If artists cannot speak up for human dignity or rights, then who else will do it?

Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it.
