"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

"Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking."

"What life means to me is to put the content of Shelley into the form of Zola. The proletarian writer is a writer with a purpose; he thinks no more of "art for art's sake" than a man on a sinking ship thinks of painting a beautiful picture in the cabin; he thinks of getting ashore — and then there will be time enough for art."

"The event that made conceivable the realization that it was possible to 'speak another language' and still make sense in art was marcel Duchamps' first unassigned readymade. With the unassisted readymade, art changed its focus trom the form of the language to what was being said. Which means that it changed the nature of art from a question of morphology to a question of function. This change - one from 'appearance' to 'conception' - was the beginning of 'modern art' and the beginning of 'conceptual art'. "

"Biennals are the art world's GPS and, to remain faithful to my metaphor, the satellites in a GPS system are also quite far removed from the centre. Biennals, triennals, documenta; they all help us navigate through a difficult art scene. An art scene that - since the world becomes steadily smaller, with seemingly shorter distances between the centre and the periphery, and between continents and cultures - becomes more and more facetted and complex. The art world has a rhizomatic structure; a network, where different quality criteria exist: There is no single answer but many, and here lies both the interesting and the challenging. Biennals help us see the big picture; significan trends, the most important. They help us classify."

"Too often the art world emulates traditional market values and dynamics when it comes to exhibition making. One year it's this curator with that theme, and the next, it's another theme with another curator. Under the auspices of originality and novelty, trends dictate that the old must make way for the new. Just as markets are now rethinking the viability of disposable culture, it's high time for the art world to consider sustainable practices too. This does not mean there is no space for radical breaks, to the contrary divergent approaches should be encouraged. But even in rebellion, those developments should be informed by previous experiences."

"I once read somewhere that a hermit who was watching his hour-glass without praying, heard noises that split his eardrums. He suddenly heard the catastrophe of time, in the hour-glass. The tick tock of our watches is so mechanically jerky that we no longer have ears subtle enough to hear the passage of time"
