Quote of Note | Olafur Eliasson

“I really admire many of today’s designers, but design often seems to lack a sense of performance, whether in a social or political sense, even though this is fundamental to the constitution of an object. And this is a typical question for artists. Art can be very political. For some 30 or 40 years, artworks have no longer been understood as separate, discrete objects, but as things that are always caught up in relations and continual exchanges with other things, people, and places.
