"I am increasingly being dissatisfied with the context of the contemporary art space as an arena where I want to put my work. Things are given a spurious significance by being in the gallery now; it used to be you built the gallery to put the significant objects in, now you put insignificant objects in the gallery to give them significance. That’s worn out now, it was a novel thought 100 years ago, when Duchamp said ‘artists will just be people who point’, that was an interesting thought. Now, it’s boring. I get tired of a lot of art because it’s not special enough."
