I curated this show [Shanghai Biennale ], I was by no means trying to shock people or be controversial.

Through my work and ways of expression, I strive to engage in dialogue with the society that I am living in.

[Museums] all belongs to the cultural department, which is the biggest cultural department in the world.

Recently I danced in a video spoof of the song 'Gangnam Style,' and it was quickly banned across multiple Chinese online video platforms. But the story still traveled all over the world, carried in hundreds of international media reports.

The so-called culture nowadays is only a fake one with a superficial front. It is an empty lie.

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 don't think China should care if this crazy old guy should have a show here or not. You have so many museums in the West, and so many shows, you need somebody to show the work, otherwise it's empty.
