Artist

Nature does not proceed in a straight line, it is rather a sprawling development.

Cultural confinement takes place when a curator imposes his own limits on an art exhibition, rather than asking an artist to set his limits.

Visiting a museum is a matter of going from void to void.

Art's development should be dialectical and not metaphysical.

The museum spreads its surfaces everywhere, and becomes an untitled collection of generalizations that mobilize the eye.

Banal words function as a feeble phenomena that fall into their own mental bogs of meaning.

When a finished work of 20th century sculpture is placed in an 18th century garden, it is absorbed by the ideal representation of the past, thus reinforcing political and social values that are no longer with us.

Nature is never finished.

Language operates between literal and metaphorical signification.

From the top of the quarry cliffs, one could see the New Jersey suburbs bordered by the New York City skyline.

Objects in a park suggest static repose rather than any ongoing dialectic. Parks are finished landscapes for finished art .

History is a facsimile of events held together by finally biographical information.

Language should find itself in the physical world, and not end up locked in an idea in somebody's head.

Some artists imagine they've got a hold on this apparatus, which in fact has got a hold of them. As a result, they end up supporting a cultural prison that is out of their control.

The museums and parks are graveyards above the ground- congealed memories of the past that act as a pretext for reality.

I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it sinks faster into the pulverized regions of time.

Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future.

Artists are expected to fit into fraudulent categories.

Words for mental processes are all derived from physical things.
