The alchemy of good curating amounts to this: Sometimes placing one work of art near another makes one plus one equal three. Two artworks arranged alchemically leave each intact transform both and create a third thing.

Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel hypocrite and flatterer for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

In general the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another.

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

I like things that are kind of eclectic when one thing doesn't go with another. That's why I love Rome. The town itself is that way. It's where Fascist architecture meets classic Renaissance where the ancient bangs up against the contemporary. It has a touch of everything. That's my style and that's what my work is about.

I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
