In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work

Don’t worry about cool, make your own uncool.

The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that.

I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live.

Every generation renews itself in its own way; there's always a reaction against whatever is standard.

Also, since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa.

Once it is out of his hand the artist has no control over the way a viewer will perceive the work. Different people will understand the same thing in a different way.
