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

Buying books was a way anyone could acquire a work of art for very little.

An architect doesn't go off with a shovel and dig his foundation and lay every brick. He's still an artist.

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

The artist is seen like a producer of commodities, like a factory that turns out refrigerators.

Ideas alone can be works of art; they are in a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical.

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