If there is no freedom of expression, then the beauty of life is lost. Participation in a society is not an artistic choice, it’s a human need.

I’m an artist who is always looking for what is possible. I’m always looking to extend the boundaries.

I don't think China has professional museums - not in the past, present, or near future.

Otherwise, I think the building can be bigger, larger, and the city can be much more crazy. The problem is the government structure is so deadly stupid, not really solving problems but creating a lot of problems itself every day.

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

I think my stance and my way of life is my most important art.

I wouldn’t say I’ve become more radical: I was born radical.
