Matthew Slotover quotes
-
“Graffiti is something written on a wall, and, of course, art can be exhibited or produced anywhere: a wall is just another venue.”
-- Matthew Slotover -
“Art and society was a lot more subject to sexism 50 years ago than it is now. Since that period, there have been plenty of very good female painters, 2006 Turner Prize-winner Tomma Abts among them. How much history needs to pass before an artist is called 'great'? That is the real question.”
-- Matthew Slotover -
“Duchamp's urinal was art once he put it in a gallery. In fact, one working definition of art is anything that is in a gallery.”
-- Matthew Slotover -
“Movements are overrated and invented by the press. Ask any artist if they feel or felt part of a movement - the good ones will all say no.”
-- Matthew Slotover -
-
“Art is about the context in which it is made as much as the object itself; objects take on different meanings in different contexts. If the artist is unaware of the context, it's very unlikely the work will be very good.”
-- Matthew Slotover -
“Street art is designed to be seen out of the corner of your eye, on the hoof. Art that's made for galleries is made to be looked at in a more static way for a longer period of time and may not be so striking immediately, but perhaps resonates for a longer period.”
-- Matthew Slotover
