“When people ask me now about why I make art, I think that's what I'm seeking - a moment of transcendence with a piece. Because otherwise you're just in the hustle, you're trying to pay your bills, to do this and that, and then there's that unique moment, when you're not thinking about the market, or if it's going to sell, and all of that bullshit.” PeopleThinkingTryingArtMomentsUniqueAsk MeBullshitHustle Author:Fernando Mastrangelo
“I feel like I'm changing as a human being, and I think that the work needed to be in line with where I'm at. When I was younger and I was making political work, I was trying to figure out where my work fit in because when you're young you're like, "I don't know." I'm Latino, I grew up in Mexico, and so I thought that maybe I had to talk about those things. Then finally I didn't need my identity to rely on anymore. So now the work is becoming about more esoteric things, I guess - my own sort of language.” ThinkingTryingPoliticalLanguageIdentityFitRelyLatino Author:Fernando Mastrangelo
“Sometimes I think you just have to trust that the things you're doing make sense, instead of sitting down and analyzing this and that and, "Well, I read Paul-Michel Foucault saying..." The world and the universe have a way of resolving themselves eloquently, I think, if you're doing the right things.” ThinkingWorldSometimesUniverseMake SenseRight ThingDoing The Right Thing Author:Fernando Mastrangelo
“When I was in college, it was Jacques Derrida. Everyone was dropping quotes. I remember thinking that was important - and I don't say that it's not now - but we're just living our lives. I don't have time to think about that.” ThinkingImportantRememberCollegeTime To ThinkDerrida Author:Fernando Mastrangelo
