Of course, the process of curating is different from art making. Exhibition-making is a process that involves collaboration with various participating artists.

Even Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were entertainers. In that way, I am an entertainer and want to make art that is fun.

"Art is the ability to turn one's gaze to the world of oblivion." This is the way in which I understand art at fundamental level.

The value of art is its ability to look into the "world of oblivion" and to find things that are generally unrecognized, forgotten, invisible and impossible to tell.

Art is basically entertainment.

By putting a border line between life and death, we separate the world of death from our world of life, casting the dead away into the "world of oblivion".

To think about "oblivion" is to think about "what art is".

The artists could be dead, but some of them are not so distant from us, and make us feel as if they are alive with us. Such artists are worth calling "contemporary artists".

I think it is important to be aware that the Internet has replaced the television, and has become a place where the uniformity of human society is accelerated.

When we talk about contemporary art and contemporary artists, we usually imagine artists who are alive. But I feel very uncomfortable about placing a border between living artists and dead artists.

I put priority on such artists who focus on the world of "oblivion" and who consider placing themselves into the world of "oblivion" as fundamental to their attitude for their expression.

Think big, dream big, stay humble and act now.

Prayer is for every moment of our lives, not just for times of suffering or joy. Prayer is really a place, a place where you meet God in genuine conversation.

Writing about the self to spur intellectual growth or attain a teardrop of emotional salvation is akin to a fish attempting to construct a net that will capture itself.

If I have one addiction in life, it's probably food.

I had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.

A bold onset is half the battle.

Life is not a plot; it's in the details.

You cannot buy your health; you must earn it through healthy living.

Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.

Great. Just great. One glimpse of his body and I have a full-blown crush. I honestly thought I was a bit deeper than that.
