Visiting a museum is a matter of going from void to void.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Oh, what a void there is in things.
Museums are like the quiet car of the world. It's a place you can come to escape, where there's authenticity, there's uniqueness, there's calm, there's physicality.
Museums are not normally presenting the works on the walls as provocations to work. It's more like going to a Jacuzzi.
One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.
I like to spread myself out. Since I was a kid, I always recognized some void.
As I went through 'This Progress,' one of two performance pieces by Tino Sehgal that transform Frank Lloyd Wright's emptied-out spiral into a dreamy Socratic-purgatorial journey, the museum literally fell away. I was suspended in some weird nonspace.
I want to bring back the human encounter into places where material things have a prime status. In a museum, you're supposed to look at things and not talk to other people.
A museum should not just be a place for fancy paintings but should be a place where we can communicate our lives through our everyday objects.
The museums and parks are graveyards above the ground- congealed memories of the past that act as a pretext for reality.
Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos.
