“Being a good Hans Haacke student, part of his influence on me is that there's no difference between a gallery show and a film - or even an ad and a T-shirt-in terms of cultural legitimacy.

The tendency leads eventually to the acquisition of all power - whether in the hands of one or many makes little difference to the freedom of those left on the outside.” MenLittlesMomentsHandsGovernmentLeftNaturalDifferencesInfluenceNotesTendenciesDevicesAcquisitionExtending Author:Barry Goldwater
