Is it my role as an artist to ...

Is it my role as an artist to say something, to express, to be expressive? I think it's my role as an artist to bring to expression, it's not my role to be expressive.

Anish Kapoor 03.03.2018 03:03:03 82 quotes

One does not set out with the ...

One does not set out with the idea that I've just had a great idea and now I'm going to go and carry it out. Almost all art that's made like that doesn't go anywhere.

It's precisely in those moment...
