hirschhorn i do hate hierarchy, every hierarchy. In discussion with other artists, i've always felt quite alone with this position. In the alternative venue called Zonmeee, in Montreuil, where i worked for a while, there were many discussions about hierarchies, strategies and about fighting againts the museam, the system, the market, the institution. I never really understood the critique of the institution. It's important to stress that iv'e never based my work on institutional critique or the critique of commerce. I don't want to fight against, i want to fight for. I want to fight for my work. And through my work i want to confront the audience, criticism, the market, the institution, the system, the history, but it isn't an end in it's self. - taken from an interview with M.
