I think by shattering it we can create a new form, a new way to look at what is valuable — how we decide what is valuable.

China seems unpredictable because it has a distinct culture and social system. It is still a mystery to other parts of the world, even though the veil of China has been lifted many times as a result of globalization.

Beijing is constructing a 100,000 m2 modern art museum, yet it will not feature any of my work.

The whole Chinese system - not just the political leadership, the military too, the whole power structure, our education system, the whole of society - is suffering from being cut off from the free flow of information. That's why the country can't face up to open competition - unless it resorts to measures like North Korea.

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

Cities really are mental conditions. Beijing is a nightmare. A constant nightmare.
