mean two museums
I've never made the separation between, say, the museum and the hardware store. I mean, I enjoy both of them, and I want to combine the two.
art men names
Art? That's a man's name.
people wigs ifs
If you wear a wig, everybody notices. But if you then dye the wig, people notice the dye.
art technique multiple
I'm for mechanical art. When I took up silk screening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through the commercial techniques of multiple reproduction.
needs fantasy
Everyone needs a fantasy.
art age landscape
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.
art real trying
If you're not trying to be real, you don't have to get it right. That's art.
wish way action
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains - daisy chains - of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between 'his,' 'her' or 'their' wish and yours.
thinking burden terrific
I think Chris Burden is terrific. I really do.
art streets ifs
I always like to see if the art across the street is better than mine.
wish made
I wish I hadn't made so many images.
nice clothes
The clothes of Courreges are so nice.
years ideas people
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. People are only glamorous if you don't see them. Like the movies used to make people years ago. There is something about people on screen that makes them so special; when you see them in person, they are so different and the whole illusion is gone..
art believe i-believe
Everything will be art and nothing will be art, because everything, as I believe, already is.
