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.
From Robert Smithson
The museums and parks are graveyards above the ground- congealed memories of the past that act as a pretext for reality.
Nature does not proceed in a straight line, it is rather a sprawling development.
Mistakes and dead-ends often mean more to these artists than any proven problem.
The museum spreads its surfaces everywhere, and becomes an untitled collection of generalizations that mobilize the eye.
The scenic ideals that surround even our national parks are carriers of a nostalgia for heavenly bliss and eternal calmness.
Artists themselves are not confined, but their output is.
Objects in a park suggest static repose rather than any ongoing dialectic. Parks are finished landscapes for finished art .
Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it sinks faster into the pulverized regions of time.
Abstraction is everybody's zero but nobody's nought.
