I went MOMA over the weekend and I realized that when artists talk about art it will inevitable make you feel simpleton. All of a sudden that weekend you spent powering through all 24 episodes Veronica Mars Season 3 on DVD doesn’t seem like quite the accomplishment.

I value the referential quality of art, the fact that a work can allude to things or a state of being without in any way representing them. The ideas that give rise to a work can be quite diffuse, so I would describe my usual working process as a kind of distillation-trying to make coherence out of things that seem contradictory. But coherence is not the same as resolution. The most interesting art for me retains a flickering quality, where opposed ideas can be held in tense coexistence. -Martin Puryear 2007
