Museum Quotes

I’m Chief Executive Officer at Art of the Olympians Museum in Fort Myers, Florida, which was founded by my Mexico City teammate Al Oerter and his wife Cathy in 2005. It shows that Olympians can have another life; we have got art from more than 100 Olympians Picture Quote #1

I had my first museum showing of my slide show in Rotterdam, in 1983. I love Rotterdam. I love harbour cities in general Picture Quote #1

Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres - Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there’s time Picture Quote #1

There was a belief after World War I that painting could be an act of civil revolt. I want this exhibition, ‘New Museum,’ to be an act of civil disobedience. It’s not so much about the New Museum on the Bowery, but the idea of challenging museums as projections of cultural authority. It’s painting as insurgency Picture Quote #1

Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That’s where it will be Picture Quote #1

Respect whatever it is [ Confederate flag] that you have to respect, because it was a point in time, and put it in a museum Picture Quote #1

I have a passion for modern and contemporary art. I spend a lot of time in museums; I particularly like the Guggenheim, MoMA in New York or LACMA and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, for example. I cannot wait for the Louis Vuitton Foundation to open Picture Quote #1

I’m lucky. Usually you’re dead to get your own museum, but I’m still alive to see mine Picture Quote #1

Typically your work will end up in a museum [after] you’re dead. And maybe that’s the function of a museum. It’s an archive of your work after you’re dead Picture Quote #1

The deep sea is the largest museum on earth, it contains more history than all the museums on land combined, and yet we’re only now penetrating it Picture Quote #1

I’m a black male, over 40, with no kids, living in the suburbs - they wanted to put me in a museum. Why did I move to the suburbs? I started watching Desperate Housewives. If comedy didn’t work out I can always try gardening Picture Quote #1

You may not see massive UFO exhibits at your local science museum, but there’s no dearth of saucer stories infesting my email. Every day, I receive several reports of alien sightings, extraterrestrial plans for Earth, and agitated screeds about the reluctance of scientists to take the whole subject seriously Picture Quote #1

I created a successful outdoor youth festival - the Liverd festival - against all good advice. It was a great way to explore and investigate social sculptures. Having that as my kind of studio, outside of a museum or precious white-cube gallery, that was a kind of education Picture Quote #1

The whole experience co-curating the Biennial was a learning experience. The Suburban and The Poor Farm are not institutions. They are not by design, organized around power structures. Because I am someone who thrives on delineating context, seeing up close the inner workings of the museum was not wasted on me Picture Quote #1

My favorite museums are things like the Frick Museum in New York and the Huntington Hartford in Pasadena where it’s someone’s home that you walk through Picture Quote #1

I bought a year’s production of flax from a single field owned by a Dutch producer. That’s 10,000 kilograms of flax, enough to enable industrial level production. Now, I’m weaving it into tablecloths, tea towels, and other items at the Textile Museum in Tilburg. I’m producing hundreds of grown-up products! Picture Quote #1

I left Kurdistan in April 2003 with the peshmerga, following their excited advance as Saddam’s forces crumbled. First Kirkuk, then Mosul - where looters broke into the city museum and seized its Parthian sculptures - then Tikrit. I reported from Baghdad in month-long stints until the end of 2004 Picture Quote #1

Whether you’re going to a museum or a flea market or flipping through a book, always be on the lookout for something special Picture Quote #1

I like to make books. To me, it’s just as great to have some book of mine be in a flea market as it is to have a picture in a museum Picture Quote #1

I’ve got funny things. David Duchovny had to have a cast made of his face to do an old person’s make-up, and I’ve got that cast of his face in my house. I’ve got something from the pilot, the original implant that was in Billy Miles’ head. I’ve got a sign from ‘The Erlenmeyer Flask.’ But my house isn’t a museum to ‘The X-Files!’ Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, I’m very analytical in my real life, but in terms of my films, I try to not analyze them at all and let things just go into them and let them be what they are. I mean, people ask me to this day what ‘The Squid and the Whale’ stood for, and I have no idea except that it’s an exhibit in the Natural History Museum Picture Quote #1

The small amount of people that control the discourse around painting - I thought that the whole museum world was just a bunch of phonies, and I didn’t really want to have anything to do with it. I guess I did installations, in a funny way, because they couldn’t be commodified Picture Quote #1

I just don’t think that the differences you make by donating to a museum or an art gallery really compare to the differences you make by donating to the charities that fight global poverty Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to date a crazy party animal; I’m more into culture. I’d rather go to a museum, travel somewhere, or go to a play. That’s more interesting to me than partying at the hottest club Picture Quote #1

I had thrown my body in for art... I had thrown myself into this game for art. You know, I was not a very good artist. But this was, like, one thing I could do. (On being photographed nude playing chess with Marcel Duchamp at Duchamp’s 1963 retrospective at the Pasadena Museum of Art.) Picture Quote #1

Cinderella and the prince lived, they say, happily ever after, like two dolls in a museum case never bothered by diapers or dust, never arguing over the timing of an egg, never telling the same story twice Picture Quote #1

I’ve never made the separation between, say, the museum and the hardware store. I mean, I enjoy both of them, and I want to combine the two Picture Quote #1

There’s a thing at the Museum of Natural History in New York, where I live: they have a stairwell where you follow the beginning and the course of this planet, and it’s a very long stairwell, and you follow, and you follow, and then you reach the top, and we’re, like, half a step on the stairwell - the timeline for us on this planet Picture Quote #1

Every museum is full of nice things. That’s the opposite of before. It was important things or serious things. Now we have interesting things Picture Quote #1

(Museum Quotes) If I’m doing a logo, I’ll do it in black and white. Once the form is feeling right, only then do I start exploring the color palettes.
