Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends.

A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form.

Unless you're involved with thinking about what you're doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating.

What the work of art looks like isn't too important.

Conceptual art is only good if the idea is good.

[The artist's aim is] not to instruct the viewer, but to give him information... . The artist would follow his predetermined premise to its conclusion, avoiding subjectivity. Chance, taste, or unconsciously remembered forms would play no part in the outcome. The serial artist does not attempt to produce a beautiful or mysterious object but functions merely as a clerk cataloguing the results of his premise.

During the '70s I was interested in words and meaning as a way of making art.
