It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area
Tracey Emin

Michal Rovner
Image
Rather than attend to a world considered as if it's out there, I have to start to attend to me. That led to some things that I never wanted it to lead to, person as a sort of psychological miasma.

I became much more interested in plot when I really didn't consider myself a writer anymore. When I was in an art context and I started to do installations, that was when writing of mine almost returned to fiction. Earlier I felt like I didn't have anything to write about, I could only concentrate on the page, I could only concentrate on words.

I believe that even an airport can be an inspiring place for an artist. A Nobel Prize laureate once said something along the lines of, The more one travels, the more intelligent one becomes, however, I think that you can still travel a lot and remain sheltered.
Isa Genzken
Image
I'm spending a lot of time in the Palazzo and in the museums. I'm printing [pictures that I take] and making a binder with a mix of internet research and palazzo research that I'm planning to use for the upcoming works.
Camille Henrot
Image
Revolution is something that actually starts in individual hearts.
Bill Viola
Image
I found that life has to be edited to continue.
Tracey Emin
Image
I know there is also the influence of television and being able to zap away so it is a weightier decision to go into the theater than it used to be. And probably attention spans are not as strong as they used to be, generally speaking.
Michael Snow
Image
I always made stuff but never thought, I'm going to be an artist.
Mark Bradford
Image
I'll talk. You'll listen.
Bruce Nauman
Image
To be an artist, you're basically a crazy person. You're extremely narcissistic and emotionally expressive. The idea that the world needs to listen to you is an insane thought.
Chloe Wise
Image
I've never been a big cinephile, which may be why I could treat 'The Clock' like a puzzle and force the pieces to fit together in odd ways.
Christian Marclay
Image
I like getting stuff out of the way so you can see something clearly, see it sharply, have it be new again.
Zoe Leonard
Image

David LaChapelle
Image
There are things going on in galleries recently that have shocked me. What I'm going to say is really controversial, but what I find the most provocative is the commerciality of art in general. And the fact that a lot of people have forgotten what the meaning of art is and what the intention behind it is.
