We are not moving towards some kind of goal. We are at the goal, and it is changing with us. If art has any purpose, it is to open our eyes to that fact.

I have to say that I reject somewhat the distinction between something called art and something called public art. I think all art demands and desires to be seen.

It is as much the conversations between objects as between us and objects that make museums so valuable.

I was educated by monks - I thank them dearly for the education they gave me, but I am no longer a Catholic.

The elemental world we all live in is the darkness of the body.

Art is not about objects of high monetary exchange. It's about reasserting our firsthand experience in present time.

Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive - in the past, that was mixed up with other illustrative duties, but that was still its central function that has been liberated in the art called modern.
