“I feel my work is made for one being, one individual. You could say that’s me, but that’s not really true. It’s for an idealized viewer. Sometimes I’m kind of cranky coming to see something. I saw the Mona Lisa when it was in L.A., saw it for 13 seconds and had to move on. But, you know, there’s this slow-food movement right now.

Maybe we could also have a slow-art movement, and take an hour”.

James Turrell Roden Crater, outside Flagstaff, Arizona, USA, 1979-current

“Place is the appreciation of space; that is how I see it. If I say: space represents the appreciation of it, my purpose is again to dethrone abstract properties to it academically. Now space-meaning need not be pre-ordained or implicitly defined in the form. It is not merely what a space sets out to effect in human terms, that gives it place value, but what it is able to gather and transmit.”13 13 Van Eyck, A., 1952, ‘Team 10 Primer 1953-1962’, Architectural Design, no. 12
