“Since I found that one could make a case shadow from a three-dimensional thing, any object whatsoever - just as the projecting of the sun on the earth makes two dimensions - I thought that by simple intellectual analogy, the fourth dimension could project an object of three dimensions, or, to put it another way, any three-dimensional object, which we see dispassionately, is a projection of something four-dimensional, something we are not familiar with.” WayTwoEarthThreeFoundSimpleCasesSunFourObjectsProjectsIntellectualShadowLogicFamiliarCertaintyUncertaintyReasoningDimensionsFourthAnother WayProjectionAnalogiesOntologyThree Dimensions Author:Marcel Duchamp
“Use your brains, your common sense, and do not become an object.

“Genitive is a funny word because it means "from," but it also is the gender in European languages for objects: the masculine, feminine, and neuter. So if you have a genitive present, there's room for everybody to fit in. I just did a project in Vienna about rock, paper, scissor; you change the gender and it simply changes the whole thing. Rock is no longer a male. It doesn't function the same way.” IfsWayMeanWholeLanguageRoomsRocksObjectsFitPaperProjectsFunctionMalesGenderFeminineMasculineVienna Author:Lawrence Weiner
“People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.” PeopleThinkingPersonsObjectsBlessingProjectsExpectations Author:Candice Bergen
“Alberto Alessi had asked a dozen architects to design a sterling silver tea service - with a teapot, a coffee pot, sugar, creamer, a spoon, and a tray. Our brief was that it didn't matter if it didn't work and cost wasn't the issue. It was a promotional project, not a commercial enterprise, and was going to be showcased in museums. And the coffee and tea piazza, as mine was called, received a great response. It was wonderful to walk into the Whitney museum and see all these objects on the first floor.” IfsFirstsMatterWalksIssuesWonderfulDesignObjectsMinesCostProjectsResponseCoffeeTeaEnterpriseSilverMuseumsPotArchitectSugarDozenSpoonsWhitneySterlingTraysTeapotsCoffee And Tea Author:Michael Graves

“A lot of artists are involved with fabrication. Artists today are making more objects and many of them need the participation of a dealer in order to facilitate and provide support for projects. So that has changed. But I don't know if what it means to be an artist has really changed. I hope that it hasn't.” IfsKnowsNeedsMeanTodayArtistOrderSupportObjectsChangedInvolvedProjectsParticipationDealerFacilitateFabrication Author:Larry Gagosian
“I do love improvisation, I love when I find an object in my studio or kitchen (look, a tea sample's tiny glass jar!) and instantly incorporate it in a project.

“I can use the camera to make a place or landscape; the camera to a greater extent projects rather than takes in or reproduces. The camera, or, rather, the eye, produces the impression of the place: I as a photographer am not passively taking in; I am active as a subject generating the object.” I CanUseEyeGreaterSubjectsObjectsProduceProjectsCamerasPhotographerActiveImpressionLandscape Book:Olafur Eliasson: photographs Source: Olafur Eliasson: photographs
