Words of Wisdom posted on the Wall

• "I basically did two things with my class; we took the clock out of the equation and forgot about time." - Michael Asher
• "The younger artists are dealing more with ideas. Here's a media city, and the native language just isn't painting and such; it's television, films, the media. This place is about illusions, sanity and insanity." - Chris Burden
