No More Statements

This project is supported by Cité Internationale des Arts.

Statements on the walls of galleries often have crowds reading them. There were even queues to read the statements at the Venice Biennale. Yet few visitors stood for long in front of the artworks themselves. Has the amount of attention given by visitors to statements and artworks been thrown off balance? Is this balance of attention what the artist hopes for? How should visitors and artists regard the relationship between statement and artwork?

So why not put the statements on the work?
