"A work of art is completed by the viewer." - Marcel Duchamp

"By choosing the thing itself, he created the impossibility of its preservation. .... You have that whole conceptual dimension, but then you have this absolutely physical dimension and you have this clash between that physical and that poetic. It's in that contradiction, It's in that confrontation that I think the art really is."

"Yeah, I don't think it's just in the title. The Title is lovely and really speaks to me, I admit it. But the title with the sculpture is a really complicated experience."
