  • Catalogue Essay

    Through a lot of happenstance, I discovered this thing called art — what we call contemporary art. Where you try to do that funny thing where you don’t want to fuck up somebody’s day on their way to work, you want to fuck up their whole life. Art is a possibility to present logic structures that can change people’s perception of their entire existence. I gave it a shot, and I guess I just kept doing it. Lawrence Weiner
