Sol LeWitt
"Before doing this work, I did three-dimensional paintings using words and figures. These figures were taken from single frames of Muybridge’s serial photographs. As the colors advanced and receded visually the forms did so physically, projecting from the frontal plane or receding behind it. These pieces are referred to as structures because they are neither paintings nor sculpture, but both.” [1]

Mark di Suvero
"I found the rules of the pendulum, and the rules of equilibrium, by making toys for
children. […] I was becoming very socially conscious. The kids from the neighborhood
who lived in the projects came, and I started making toys. Often when we do something
nice for someone, we receive without realizing it. The kids taught me what works and
what doesn't." [2]

Claes Oldenburg
″ ... I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical ... I am for an art that takes its form from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself ... I am for the art of sweat that develops between crossed legs ... for the majestic art of dog-turds, rising like cathedrals ... ” [3]

Terry Adkins
"This is a piece I made called Prophet that's a memory jug wrapped in parachute with nautilus shells. It has to do with the influence of seeing Michelangelo's Moses, horned; John the Baptist, head on the silver platter; John Brown, martyr; and the biblical associations thereof." [4]

“Abstraction is not merely taking things, ideas, and objects apart. For me, abstraction is about possibilities and the potential of the real to become something other. Abstraction offers me opportunities to remake the real. I find abstraction in literature, philosophy, and science; these fields allow me to make unlikely connections to engage with in my practice.” [5]

"For a long while I've been making work that encourages people to meet and see each other. Two Black Seats similarly provides a meeting place for two people while creating minimal material objects." [6]
