My idea for every exhibition is we should be able to see every individual work without being distracted by the others, and it doesn't matter if it's quite crowded.
Michael Craig-MartinI am personally happy for artists to make as much money as they can while they can to carry them through the times when they can't.
Michael Craig-MartinIf things are too similar, the dialogue is not very interesting. If you put in contrast, big and small, abstract and representational, you set up the possibility of a discourse.
Michael Craig-MartinI thought the objects we value least because they were ubiquitous were actually the most extraordinary.
Michael Craig-MartinThe first exhibition that I used bright colours in painting the room was at a gallery in Paris, and there were seven rooms in the gallery. It was very nice gallery, not very big rooms, around the courtyard, it was a very French space. So I painted each room in different colour. When people came to the exhibition, I saw they came with a smile. Everybody smiles - this is something I never saw in my work before.
