For kind of sophisticated art I'm interested in, the larger structural rebuke has to be so subtle that it has to be distributed at an almost sub-atomic level. Otherwise, you fall into the kind of preachy, moralistic fable that I don't think makes for good literature. Junot Diaz artatomicdistribute share on social

On some level, acting is the art of pretend, and you have to have a highly cultivated sense of imagination. You have to be able to see things that aren't there, no matter what aspect of acting, whether it's green screen, whether it's on stage, whether it's anything else, whether you're working on the radio.

I cannot wait for the Louis Vuitton Foundation to open. Delphine Arnault angelesartcontemporary share on social

Basically, I viewed any work of art as an imposition of another person's taste, and saw the individual making this imposition as a kind of dictator. Henry Flynt artbasicallydictator Change image and share on social
Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture. Maya Lin architecturearthard Change image and share on social
I left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them. Maya Lin analyticallyapproacharchitecture Change image and share on social
