Matter
|
Nov 07, 2020

'6 Times' is an attempt to reinvestigate the social responsibility of sculpture. The body in question is a particular body, but it doesn't really matter whose it is.

Nov 07, 2020

I have to say that I reject somewhat the distinction between something called art and something called public art. I think all art demands and desires to be seen.

Old
|
Nov 07, 2020

Western Australia is covered by granite, the largest single piece of Achaean rock that still lies on the surface of the, of, of the Earth, that's 2.5 to 2.9 billion years old. It's one of the most ancient and intact bits of the Earth's crust.

Body
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think scale is about, in a way, the apprehension of proportion, and all the proportions that mean things to us as human beings are related to the body.

Land
|
Nov 07, 2020

The very first lead work that I made is called 'Land Sea and Air,' and is the enclosure of primal elements within that kind of carapace of lead.

Cooling
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want people to be excited about cooling towers and megasheds; they're as much part of our history as the rural barn.

Nov 07, 2020

How do you make the timelessness of inert, silent objects count for something? How to use the, in a way, dumbness of sculpture in a way that acts on us as living things?

Blame
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think it's probably the Dutch who are to blame for starting the whole 'art business', because before they came along, art was attached to relatively stable structures, and it was everybody's. It was like going to the movies.

I Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel terribly misunderstood; I feel terribly misunderstood.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think critics are very useful. But I think that they, in a way, betray their position when they stop people looking for themselves.

Forget
|
Nov 07, 2020

Judgment is very easy, but I think, on the whole, professional critics maybe see too much, and compare too much, and forget the joy of actually looking and contemplating for its own sake.

Failure
|
Nov 07, 2020

Due to the failure of politics, which has become a process of middle-management, art has become one of the last open spaces to question core beliefs and to design a viable future. Art becomes an open space where we can ask fundamental questions about ourselves.

Nov 07, 2020

Cities have become places where we are controlled, by CCTV and other means, in the same way as machines are controlled. My works provide an imaginative space in which this can be challenged. It's like opening a window in a closed room.

Dance
|
Nov 07, 2020

I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It's art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think that the equator could act as a great equalizer for all life on Earth, celebrated as the great energy belt of the planet. If all our energy grids were synchronized, the light side of the planet could provide energy for the dark side, according to the movement of the sun.

Educated
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was educated by monks - I thank them dearly for the education they gave me, but I am no longer a Catholic.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

I used to think that the great thing about sculpture was that, like Stonehenge, it was something that stood against time in an adamantine way, and was an absolute mass in space. Now I try to use the language of architecture to redescribe the body as a place.

Nov 07, 2020

If your work doesn't speak to people, it's beyond comprehension and risible, but if people engage with it, you become tarred with the brush of populism.

Like

Nov 07, 2020

It's wonderful to see art in a museum, but it is institutionalised. I don't like the idea of the artwork as something that requires special conditions. I would like it to be universal.

Light
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's a wonderful thing to make work that is unadorned either by context, framing or label, that can exist in the changing conditions of light, weather, wind.
