“Place an object within your view, hopefully at about eye level. You might have to look down a little bit. Some people have a meditation table on which they put an object of concentration on.” PeopleLooksLittlesMightEyeBitsLevelsViewsMeditationObjectsLittle BitTablesHopefullyConcentration Author:Frederick Lenz
“We see buildings in Britain mostly as freestanding objects. They are not meant to have a dialogue with anything around them, or with history, or with ideas of any kind beyond the self-referential. What we call 'regeneration' is largely an excuse for building for maximum profit with a bit of sculptural design thrown in to catch the eye of the media.” KindIdeasSelfEyeBitsMediaDesignObjectsBuildingProfitExcuseDialogueBritainThrownMaximumRegeneration Author:David Chipperfield

“You have bits of canvas that are unpainted and you have these thick stretcher bars. So you see that a painting is an object; that it's not a window into something - you're not looking at a landscape, you're not looking at a portrait, but you're looking at a painting. It's basically: A painting is a painting is a painting. And it's what Frank Stella said famously: What you see is what you see.” SaidBitsObjectsPaintingWindowBarsLandscapeThickFrankCanvasPortraitsStella Author:Frank Stella
“I think we all connect with dogs the most because they're pack animals.
