You can't teach colour from Cézanne, you can only teach it from something like this bubble-gum wrapper. - Allan Kaprow

A walk down 14th street is more amazing than any masterpiece of art.

Well, you know, a lot of work nowadays [c. 1991] tends to be illustrative of theory already written, and some of it tends to be quite consciously didactic, as if the determination is to teach somebody something. And letting that go for the moment, as far as its value is concerned, it's exactly the opposite of what I seem to find most useful, and that is to leave things open and not determine anything except the very clear form. The form is always very simple and clear. What is experienced is uncertain and unforeseeable, which is why I do it, and its point is never clear to me, even after I've done it. So that's a very, very different way of looking at the nature of our responsibility in the world.

The line between art and life should be kept as fluid, and perhaps indistinct, as possible.
