I think there are lots of ways to make good work. You can throw big bucks at a project and make what some would call crap, or you can work very modestly with eloquently moving results.
From Barbara Kruger
You know, one of the only times I ever wrote about art was the obituary of Warhol that I did for the Village Voice.
I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work.
I'm living my life, not buying a lifestyle.
Things change and work changes. Right now I like the idea of enveloping a space and getting messages across that connect to the world in ways that seem familiar but are different.
I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed.
I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.
I mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary.
Look, we're all saddled with things that make us better or worse. This world is a crazy place, and I've chosen to make my work about that insanity.
Money talks. It starts rumors about careers and complicity and speaks of the tragedies and triumphs of our social lives.
