I think the twenty-first-century modality is exhibitionism. Exhibitionism is our contemporary strategy for maintaining our boundaries, which is to be boundary-less - to put everything out there before somebody comes and violates or penetrates something that we're keeping sacred.

We are not only a civilization of amateur photographers; we are amateur curators, editors, and publishers.

I think that the role of curating an exhibition is to reanimate history and make it relevant to a contemporary viewer.

I love bells, clocks, watches - and I recall that at first photographic implements were related to techniques of cabinetmaking and the machinery of precision: cameras, in short, were clocks for seeing.

The internet does not adhere to the inherent, necessary asymmetry of high-versus-low-art categorizations that we use in the cultural sector: in a banal sense, all photographs on the Web are orphans ready to be claimed.

In an era where digital or virtual is the default, the actual coming together into a physical space has to be an experience that you don't want to miss.

The real beauty of the time we're living through is that we can deploy our self-image in ways that can have radical social implications.
