I thought it would be my one and only exhibition, so I decided to call it My Major Retrospective.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been asked to do a retrospective since I was about 28 and I always thought that was a bit odd. It's great to look forward as an artist because in the future the possibilities are infinite; you look back and it's all fixed so it's a scary thing.
At a certain time, an artist needs a big retrospective. At other times, they need a more focused exhibition. It's a different story each time; it's about establishing a dialogue.
There are at least two retrospectives of my work each year in some country.
I'm an exhibitionist, I was an exhibitionist as a kid.
I began my studies in a sound and electrical engineering program, but I ultimately created a major called 'Ritual Art.'
I was so impressed with the work we were doing and I was very involved ideologically in photography - that I arranged an exhibition at the College Art Association. The first exhibition I picked the photographs and so on and we had an exhibition in New York.
I hope to make the process of producing my take of the Biennial a transparent and interesting one for artists.
The retrospective glance is a relatively easy gesture for us to make.
I do not exactly remember at what period I started my museum which absorbed so much of my time.
I never do, I don't even go to the retrospectives.
