“Civilisation is not ‘advanced’ by people lying on the beach with a gin and tonic” Gilbert and George
"An artist can aspire to a certain sovereignty, which today implies that in addition to producing art, one also has to produce the conditions that enable such production, its channels of circulation. Sometimes the production of these conditions can become so critical to the production of the work that it assumes the shape of the work itself. This should not be confused with the job curators have and the work they do. As an artist, I would not attempt to propose a solution for curators; they themselves need to come up with ways of thinking and working that do not undercut the sovereignty of artists." Anton Vidokle, 'Art Without Artists'
"You've just got to get to your studio every day and do nothing but sweep up and eventually you'll get bored and you'll try not to be bored and then that is the beginning of creativity" John Baldesarri
