Art Quotes
-
A lot of TV can be linear and cinematic and formulaic. What's to say that people can't be creative and surreal - and push boundaries? You can look at a piece of art and not necessarily know what it means or what the artist intended by it. It's the effect it has on you.

-
I think what we do is really, at times, a complicated thing. But at the end of the day it's so important that we make art for people that need to escape reality for a second. That's what music has always been for me. It's been a way to tap out of what's going on in my personal life.

Ai Weiwei -
If the Frieze Art Fair catches on, I imagine at least two great things happening. First, we will once again have a huge art fair in town that isn't too annoying to go to. More importantly, Frieze may finally show New Yorkers that we can cross our own waters for visual culture. That would change everything.
