"I'm surprised when the work appears beautiful, and very pleased. And I think work can be very good andvery successful without being able to call it beautiful, although I'm not clear about that. The work is good when it has a certain completeness, and when it's got a certain completeness, then it's beautiful."— Bruce Nauman

You can watch for a while, leave and go have lunch or come back in a week, and it's just going on. And I really liked that idea of the thing just being there. The idea being there so that it became almost like an object that was there, that you could go back and visit whenever you wanted to."— Bruce Nauman

Kerry James Marshall, "Better Homes Better Gardens“ 1994. Acrylic and collage on unstretched canvas, 100 x 142 inches. Denver Art Museum, Special Fund. Courtesy Jack Shainman Gallery, New York. "The subject matter seems in some ways less dramatic than the kinds of subjects represented in traditional history painting. But that's also a part of what the painting is about. It's about those figures being represented that way: the relationship between this representation of figures and the absence of those kinds of representations in that historical tradition of grand narrative history painting."— Kerry James Marshall

Kerry James Marshall, "Many Mansions“ 1994. Acrylic and collage on unstretched canvas, 114 x 135 inches. Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL. Courtesy Jack Shainman Gallery, New York. "The painting is built around what you could call a very classically Renaissance, architectural, or geometric structure. The most obvious thing you can see is this pyramidal, triangulated structure that the figures are fitted into...One of the reasons I used that structure was because when I started out the artists and works that I really admired—like Géricault's 'The [Raft] of the Medusa'—that whole genre of history painting, that grand narrative style of painting, was something that I really wanted to position my work in relation to. And so in order to achieve a similar kind of authority that those paintings had...I had to adopt the similar structural format to develop my painting."— Kerry James Marshall

Kerry James Marshall, “Untitled (Altgeld Gardens)” 1995. Acrylic and collage on can-vas, 78 1/2 x 103 inches. Johnson County Community College, Overland Park, KS Courtesy Jack Shainman Gallery, New York. "The initial development of that unequivocally black, emphatically black figure was so that I would use them as figures that function rhetorically in the painting...And one of the things that I had been thinking about when I started to develop that figure was the way in which the folk and folklore pfblackness always seemed to carry a derogatory connotation...A part of what I was thinking to do with my image was to reclaim the images of blackness as an emblem of power, instead of an image of derision.“ — Kerry James Marshall

Kerry James Marshall, "Our Town“ 1995. Acrylic and collage on unstretched canvas, 100 x 124 inches. Collection of the artist, Chicago. Courtesy Jack Shainman Gallery, New York. "The condition of invisibility that Ralph Ellison describes [in 'Invisible Man'] is not a kind of transparency, but it's a psychological invisibility. It's where the presence of black people was often not wanted and denied in the American mindset. And so what I set out to do was to develop a figure or a form that would represent that condition of invisibility, where you had an incredible presence, but there was a way in which you could sometimes be seen and not seen at the same time.“ — Kerry James Marshall

Kerry James Marshall, “RHYTHM MASTR,” prepara-tory drawing,1999-2000. Photocopy of ink drawing, and design marker on paper, 17 x 11 inches. Courtesy the Artist"I thought what I would do with this project would be to take a form that is, in some ways, already undervalued in America, take a subject that's under-represented, and try to develop acomic strip with a set of characters that had cultural significance but also allowed for a kind of imaginative play and inspiration. What I hit on as a subject was this idea that, for black people, the set of super heroes we come to know any-thing about have a lot to do with West African religious gods in a sense."— Kerry James Marshall

Courtesy Jack Shainman Gallery, New York. "I don't think that simply because I am an artist, or because anybody is an artist, that people ought to give their attention to the things that we've made. In some ways we have to earn our audience's attention, and one of the ways we earn our audience's attention is to make things that are phenomenologically fascinating."— Kerry James Marshall

"The way I see beauty is as a state of being for a thing that has a kind of fascination about it, or as a thing that presents a certain kind of fascination to you as a viewer. It's certainly something that's captivating; it's something's that's compelling. Beauty is a phenomenological experience, and a basic component of it is intrigue."— Kerry James Marshall

"I wouldn't say that I never think about beauty as an aesthetic issue. But I certainly think it's a much more complicated issue then it's imagined to be. I think sometimes when people think of beauty they think of prettiness as a sign of beauty, but it's a lot more complicated and a lot deeper than that."— Kerry James Marshall

"I have two sides: creativity and the architecture. It's got ideas about framing the landscape, being ecologically and environmentally sensitive, not that a lot of the artworks aren't using recycled materials and about nature in another way. But formally, I liked that they're different, that I don't want my architecture looking like my sculptures and I don't want the sculptures being at all architectonic in their form.“ — Maya Lin

"I would say that so much of my work deals with the plastic medium of clay...My childhood is the '60s, and the notion of what plastic, fluid, design shapes were beginning tooriginate out of there, again, plays into the back of your head. But I think for me it was probablymy father's potting that I would watch. That's something I really, really played with as a child and was probably more of an influence."— Maya Lin

Courtesy the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art and Gagosian Gallery, New York"The mediums I use range widely, from broken glass to water to granite. And I think formalistically, each time out with these large scale works, they can look very different. But there are some very strong underlying ideas that go throughout the works. One of them is time, one of them is an idea about landscape and the earth, or natural states or phenomena." — Maya Lin

"With the 'Wave Field' in Michigan, it was for an aerospace engineering building and I had no idea what I was going to do. My site could have been in the building they were building or outside. And I just read up on aerospace and flight for three months and then came up with the idea of the 'Wave Field,' which is basically a book image of a natural occurring water wave that came about because flight requires resistance, and that led to turbulence studies, which led to fluid dynamics."— Maya Lin

Michael Ray CharlesMichael Ray Charles’ paintings investigate stereotypes drawn from the history of American advertising, product packaging, billboards, and commercials. Charles draws comparisons between Sambo, Mammy, and minstrel images of an earlier era and contemporary portrayals of black youths, celebrities, and athletes—images he sees as a constant in the American subconscious. The Artist’s Words:"I've heard a number of things, been called the sellout, the 'Chris Rock' of the art world (I like that one by the way). And people accuse me and question my blackness—they accuse me of making paintings that deal with these images because 'white folks want to see these images' And I'm saying to myself, 'Boy, I don't know,' in that white folks wanted to see these images to laugh at?“ — Michael Ray Charles What do YOU think?

The Artist’s Words:"I've seen some black folks refer to these images as black folks. I've seen and heard white folk refer to these images as black folks. And it's really disturbing. They don't say images, they don't say representations, whether grotesque or accurate or abstracted...That's troublesome because...they're images that are constructed, they're both black and white, conceived in a white mind and believed in the black mind."— Michael Ray Charles

Courtesy Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New YorkThe Artist’s Words:"You've got to think of how these images were used in American culture...they were everywhere and they were used to market anything from oils to ink, from food products to clothing...People operate from an emotional place when they see these images because they think of the past as being something that happened and that the concepts don't linger. But these concepts continue to affect us in many ways, in modern concepts of advertising as well as in contemporary advertisements."— Michael Ray Charles

The Artist’s words:"Some black folks really see the images and say, 'That's us, but at the same time that's not us.' So they're caught right in between it. Some white folks see the images and smile and laugh, and some are really concerned and disturbed. And some are quite confused, just as confused as blacks are..."— Michael Ray Charles

The Artist’s words:"I think that these images are just as much white as they are black. They've been projected and internalized. I think people have accepted them to be, you know, representational, an accurate representation."— Michael Ray Charles

The Artist’s Words:"One could think about notions of blackness and how they're linked to entertainment, athleticism, sports (which has become another form of entertainment) but never intellectualism for the most part. And if that is the case, it's very rare. But for the most part, collectively, I would say that blackness continues to hover around this comfort zone of entertainment—providers of entertainment."— Michael Ray Charles

Courtesy Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York"In the interest of creating a system that has an internal logic, I think there are points in the story where biological systems are referred to or used as art direction in a certain way. I've always thought of the project as a sort of sexually driven digestive system, that it was a consumer and a producer of matter. And it is desire driven, rather than driven by hunger or anything like that. It's a desire in the sense of a kind of sexual desire."— Matthew Barney

The Artist’s words:"The stories themselves are some-what interchangeable. In a sense they're kind of carriers. In other words, "CREMASTER 2" could have had a couple of other stories other than Norman Mailer's "The Executioner's Song" to carry it. "The Executioner's Song" was its carrier, in that the Rocky Mountains were the real story."— Matthew Barney

It makes those things very available to me to use, and I consider them as kinds of vessels...they're used as carriers...the concept of a vehicle draws a line between locations...— Matthew Barney

The Artist’s words:"The cremaster are a set of muscles that control the height of the internal reproductive system in the male. I took that one as a title for a couple reasons, primarily in that the story, over the course of five chapters, has to do with a kind of system whose state is fluctuating, not necessarily literally as a reproductive system, but as a system whose identity is changing."— Matthew Barney

The Artist’s words:"The five chapters of the story areabout an organism that is changing, and the system that changes that form alters from chapter to chapter...It's essentially about an imposed will onto the state of the [cremaster] form, sometimes in a very abstract way, sometimes in a more literal, biological way. But it's basically a structural word. It's being used as a way to tell the story, and not as a way to define a biological system at all."— Matthew Barney

And he's throwing hot Vaseline in exactly the same way that he threw hot lead in the late '60s."— Matthew Barney

The Artist’s words:"A lot of times I’d have to contact fabricators…and when I called (especially when I was twenty and I would call with my voice and my accent) no one would help me with anything. So I started using the title ‘A To Z Administrative Services,’ almost as a joke. And I made letterhead and business cards and I’d call people up and I’d ask them for information. And they would automatically assume that I was a secretary calling for a legitimate company. Through the years it’s really opened a lot of doors and it’s really helped me to function."— Andrea Zittel

And I just started noticing how many businesses and signs I would pass used ‘A to Z.’ It’s ironic that it got drawn into my art making process.

"It’s important too that I’m a small identity or a small entity trying to function, managing to pull off these large-scale projects. Managing to do things that people usually think that you have to be an expert to do or an architect, like to make a trailer or to a 44-ton concrete island. I like this aspect that I’m sort of small, but I create the visual appearance of something large…and how it takes only a few to create this whole structure."— Andrea Zittel

The Artist’s words:"There's a continual theme in my life and in my work. It's about taking something that seems like it's one way and flipping it over so it becomes the other. So I like to take things that are maybe limitations in my life and try to somehow recontextualize them, glamorize them, make them more interest-ing, and vice versa. So I took my simple living situation and used this certain aesthetic code of modern design, and made it, in my mind, very glamorous."— Andrea Zittel

It started because I had an office job and I was supposed to wear something respectable to work. But I didn’t have that much money and so I was thinking about how most of the time we can afford one fabulous outfit that you really love to wear. But there’s some sort of social stigma against wearing the same thing two days in a row. So I decided that, in my case, variety seemed more oppressive or restrictive than continuity. So for each season I’ll make one garment. That’s my fantasy garment or my favorite thing that I can imagine at that period in time, and then I'll wear it every day for for six months.“ — Andrea Zittel

"It's like a suburbia floating out in the ocean, so you're completely alone, you're completely autonomous, but you have also this sense of community within that. Obviously no one knows how to make something like this, so we've just been trying to figure it out. I've been reading a lot of books on houseboat construction. With the first one that we made, I actually insisted that it should be made out of concrete, which was probably a mistake. But I had this idea that concrete was extremely literal.

“One thing that got me interested in working with silhouettes, but then working on the large scale, had

to do with two sorts of longings. One was to make history painting in the grand tradition. I love history paintings. I didn’t realize I loved them for a long time. I thought that they were ridiculous in

their pompous gesture. But the more I started to examine my own relationship with history, my own attempts to position myself in my historical moment, the more love I had for this artistic, painterly

conceit, which is to make a painting a stage, and to think of your characters, your portraits, as characters on that stage. And to give them this moment, to freeze-frame a moment that is full of pain

and blood and guts and drama and glory.”

Kara Walker, “Untitled (Hunting Scenes)” 2001.Cut paper and adhesive on wallLeft panel: 98 x 68 inches. Right panel: 103 x 63 inchesCollection of Centro Nazionale per le Arti Contemporanea, Rome, Italy Courtesy Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York“I was looking at racist paraphernalia, iconography, and then at these accurate versions of middle-class Americans. I began to associate the silhouette itself, the cutting, with a form of blackface minstrelsy. Here we have these mainly white sitters or a few slaves who were documented in silhouette—but for the most part white sitters whom I identify as middle class because upper class would require a full-fledged oil portrait and that’s what I had already ruled out for myself…’No oil painting here, not going to ape the master that way.’” — Kara Walker

Kara Walker, “Insurrection! (Our Tools Were Rudimentary, Yet We Pressed On)”2002. Installation view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. Projection, cut paper and adhesive on wall, 12 x 74 1/2 feetCollection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. Photo by Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. Courtesy Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York. “’Insurrection!’ The idea at the outset was an image of a slave revolt in the antebellum south where the house slaves got after their master with their utensils of everyday life, and really it started with a sketch of a series of slaves disemboweling a master with a soup ladle. My reference, in my mind, was the surgical theatre paintings of Thomas Eakins and others.” — Kara Walker

Kara Walker, "Mistress Demanded a Swift and Dramatic Empathetic Reaction Which We Obliged Her"2000. Projection, cut paper and adhesive on wall, 12 x 17 feet. Collection of Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Courtesy Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York"One of the things that's happened here with the work that I've done is that because it mimics narrative, and narrative is a kind of given when it comes to work produced by black women in this country, there's almost an expectation of something cohesive…a kind of 'Color Purple' scenario where things resolve in a certain way. A female heroine actualizes through a process of self-discovery and historical discovery and comes out from under her oppressors and maybe doesn't become a hero but is a hero for herself. And nothing ever comes of that in the pieces that I'm making."— Kara Walker

“It’s a resurrection/birth story; ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ is a kind of resurrection/birth myth. And then I thought it was like Venus on the half shell or like the Virgin on the moon. It’s the same form—a large horizontal form and a vertical coming out of it.” — Kiki Smith

And I also have no idea where that came from. You can say that it relates to different mythological stories or something. Sometimes I’m making things and people will say, ‘Oh, that’s Diana; oh, that’s Daphne.’ But I don’t know. It just pops into my head.” — Kiki Smith

Kiki Smith, “Lying with the Wolf” 2001Ink and pencil on paper, 72 1/4 x 88 inches. Photo by Kerry Ryan McFate Courtesy Pace-Wildenstein, New York

“In the Louvre I saw a picture of Genevieve sitting with the wolves and the lambs…I had stopped making images of people for a couple of years; I just wanted to make animals. But then I saw that picture, and I thought, ‘It’s really impor-tant to put them all together.’ So I drew my friend Genevieve as the Genevieve, and then I made all these wolves (I didn’t make lambs).” — Kiki Smith

Kiki Smith, “King Kong” 2002Bronze, 20 x 21 x 8 inches including base. Edition of 3Photo by Ellen Page Wilson Courtesy PaceWildenstein, New York“Last year I went to see Bill T. Jones evening of dance, and one of his dances used a song about King Kong. It was just about King Kong looking for the woman, getting the woman, and all his tribulations. It was really sort of moving. But then I thought, King Kong and the woman are sort of the same size in real life. I thought of making a life-size sculpture, and then I thought that was too ambitious. But I made the sculpture of King Kong and the woman together.” — Kiki Smith

Courtesy the artist and Lehmann Maupin Gallery, New York“Let’s say if there’s one statue at the plaza of a hero who helped or protected our country, there are hundreds of thousands of individuals who helped him and worked with him, and there’s no recognition for them. So in my sculpture, ‘Public Figures,’ I had around six hundred small figures, twelve inches high, six different shapes, both male and female, of different ethnicities.” — Do-Ho Suh

Do-Ho Suh, “Doormat: Welcome (Amber)” 1998. Polyurethane rubber, 1 1/4 x 28 x 19 inches. Edition of 5. Courtesy the artist and Lehmann Maupin Gallery, New York“What defines the individual versus individuals? For me it was just very natural to think about the interpersonal space, the space between people. And that’s why this idea of individual and collective came in. I still think, for me, it’s an issue of space.” — Do-Ho Suh

“I have to say that my work actually started from my interest in the notion of space, particularly this notion of personal space or individual space. And that’s actually the result of contemplation on the idea of how much space one person can carry.” — Do-Ho Suh

Koreans have this Nostalgia about the uniform [even though] we hated to wear the uniform…But we tried our Best to differentiate our uniforms from one another…It’s the individual versus collectivity.” --Do-Ho Suh.

Do-Ho Suh, “Seoul Home/L.A. Home/New York Home/Baltimore Home/London Home/Seattle Home” 1999. Silk, 149 x 240 x 240 inches. Installation view at the Seattle Asian Art Museum, Seattle, 2002. Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los AngelesPurchased with funds provided by an anonymous donor and a gift of the artist Courtesy the artist and Lehmann Maupin Gallery, New York“My Korean house project was about transporting space from one place to the other, a way of dealing with cultural displacement. I don’t really get homesick that much, but I’ve noticed that I have this longing for a particular space and just want to recreate it or bring it wherever I go. So the choice of material was fabric. I had to make something light and transportable, something that you can fold and put in a suitcase and bring with me all the time. That’s actually what happened when I made ‘Seoul Home/L.A. Home.’” — Do-Ho Suh

“I think that by measuring and scrutinizing and investigating everything possible you really consume the space and it becomes part of you. Now you feel like it’s in you and you feel comfortable. That’s why I did my first site-specific installations, and I did the same thing with my Korean house project. But once you take that piece down from its site and transport it and display it in a different place, the idea of site-specific becomes highly questionable and refutable. That’s what I was really interested in because I think this notion of home is something you can repeat infinitely.” — Do-Ho Suh

“I wanted the viewer to have an experience with these little dog tags, these thousands of dog tags. It symbolizes each individual’s identity…these many dog tags create this one, larger-than-life figure. It’s ambiguous whether you’re a part of it or not. Whether you are the owner of this robe when you see your own image over there. So that’s why I had the mirror inside.”

“It looks like a kind of ancient Oriental armor. The first sculpture was covered with three thousand military dog tags. From a distance the dog tags look like fish scales. The shape of that jacket was not something that I invented. I used the U.S. military jacket liner and just put the dog tags on the top of it. So I used all contemporary materials but they ended up looking like ancient ones.” — Do-Ho Suh

Trenton Doyle Hancock, “Rememor with Membry” 2001Acrylic on canvas, 54 x 66 inchesCollection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Courtesy James Cohan Gallery, New York and Dunn and Brown Contemporary, Dallas

“I like to play with language, word-play and puns, alliteration and onomatopoeia, poetic devices within the work. Since the writing aspect of the work has become so much more important, I see fit to draw upon all those elements to get things done.” — Trenton Doyle Hancock

Trenton Doyle Hancock, “The Legend is in Trouble”2001, Mixed media on canvas, 104 x 120 1/2 inchesCollection Kenneth Freed, Boston, Massachusetts Courtesy James Cohan Gallery, New York and Dunn and Brown Contemporary, Dallas

“I had been able to see death edging toward The Legend for almost a year but was powerless to stop it. Ultimately, The Legend succumbed due to injuries sustained during an attack by a band of vicious Vegan rebels. No amount of wobbling could have stopped these guys. They wanted it too bad. I guess our last hope would have been Torpedoboy but, by the time he got there, The Legend was leaking moundmeat in about sixty-two places.” — Trenton Doyle Hancock

“I see each character as a separate part of me. I can separate one aspect of my being out and then put it in front of me and then look at it. And it’s kind of like all of these things are inside me at once, battling each other. And at certain points one is dominant.” — Trenton Doyle Hancock

Trenton Doyle Hancock, “Bye and Bye” 2002. Acrylic and mixed media on canvas, 84 x 132 inchesCollection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas. Courtesy James Cohan Gallery, New York and Dunn and Brown Contemporary, Dallas“The words ‘bye and bye’ are cut out of the piece because I just wanted another layer of information. It’s always interesting for me to extend painting a little bit further from myself than it has to be, to make it just a little harder than it has to be. All of the letters cut out of this piece are glued back in different places, so you have this recession of space and this built-up space. Then, when you come up to the painting you experience it on several different levels.” — Trenton Doyle Hancock

“’Ferroneus & The Monk’ is what I call a dream flash. That’s how Mounds dream—in big colorful landscapes filled with floating objects and symbols. Mounds are rooted in the ground. They can’t really move. So in their dreams they’re very mobile. They can go anywhere. All over the place!” — Trenton Doyle Hancock

Trenton Doyle Hancock, “Sturdi of Loo”2002Mixed media on felt, 69 1/4 x 72 1/2 Inches. Collection of Michael E. Thomas, Dallas, Texas. Courtesy James Cohan Gallery, New York and Dunn and Brown Contemporary, Dallas

“I wanted to do a body of work that focused on the garbage and pieces of paper and scraps of canvas I had lying around on my studio floor, and where those scraps could ultimately lead me. What they led to was a body of work that at first glance seems disjointed—as if each element has nothing to do with the next. But on further scrutiny, you realize that it’s all interconnected.” — Trenton Doyle Hancock
