• Ponte en la situación de un artista prometedor que vive en la Italia de principios del siglo XVI. Ahora imagina que intentas distinguirte de los demás artistas que viven en tu ciudad: Miguel Ángel, Rafael, Leonardo o Tiziano. ¿Es de extrañar que el Alto Renacimiento italiano sólo durara 30 años?

• Para comprometernos con el arte, tenemos que estar dispuestos a equivocarnos, aventurarnos fuera de nuestras zonas de confort psíquico, suspender la incredulidad y recordar que el arte explora y altera la conciencia simultáneamente.

• All great contemporary artists, schooled or not, are essentially self-taught and are de-skilling like crazy. I don't look for skill in art... skill has nothing to do with technical proficiency... I'm interested in people who rethink skill, who redefine or reimagine it: an engineer, say, who builds rockets from rocks.

• Billions of photos are shot every year, and about the toughest thing a photographer can do is invent an original, deeply personal, instantly recognizable visual style. In the early nineties, Wolfgang Tillmans did just that, transforming himself into a new kind of artist-photographer of modern life.

• The alchemy of good curating amounts to this: Sometimes, placing one work of art near another makes one plus one equal three. Two artworks arranged alchemically leave each intact, transform both, and create a third thing.

• Outside museums, in noisy public squares, people look at people. Inside museums, we leave that realm and enter what might be called the group-mind, getting quiet to look at art.

• Art schools are partly the villain here. (Never mind that I teach in them.) This generation of artists is the first to have been so widely credentialed, and its young members so fetishize the work beloved by their teachers that their work ceases to talk about anything else. Instead of enlarging our view of being human, it contains safe rehashing of received ideas about received ideas. This is a melancholy romance with artistic ruins, homesickness for a bygone era. This yearning may be earnest, but it stunts their work, and by turn the broader culture.

• Cuando en los estadios la gente hace la Ola, es el organismo colectivo de la mente grupal que se organiza espontáneamente para expresar una emoción, pasar el tiempo y reflejar la alegría de ver los ritmos de muchos como uno solo, una rima visual o una música en la que todos perciben hacia dónde va el movimiento.

• I think that cynicism is the enemy. Cynicism thinks it knows how things work. "Oh yeah, you know how that works." I think uncertainty is the thing you have to keep embracing. You have to keep saying, I actually don't know, and going out is going to tell me something every time.

• In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing, we overreact.

• I think that writing is a process that tells you what you think. You sometimes actually don't know what your opinion is until you hear yourself trying to piece it out and have it make sense to you. The process itself is so bizarre and mysterious that you never know what it's going to tell you.

• Verano de amor: Arte de la era psicodélica', el viaje del 40 aniversario del Museo Whitney por el carril de la memoria de la contracultura, ofrece momentos de diversión, pero sólo te dejará cómodamente entumecido. Para empezar, puede que sea la exposición más blanca, heterosexual y conservadora que se haya visto en un museo neoyorquino desde que la psicodelia era nueva.

• Kinkade's paintings are worthless schmaltz, and the lamestream media that love him are wrong. However, I'd love to see a museum mount a small show of Kinkade's work. I would like the art world and the wider world to argue about him in public, out in the open.

• I see around 100 shows a month, going from Niketown-size palaces where you feel like yelling, to storefronts in Bushwick. Each has to pay the bills; keep artists happy; and cope with collectors (oy!), curators (ay-yi-yi), critics (woo-hoo!), and occasionally plumbers. That their fiscal life often hangs in the balance only adds to the energy.
