"Fail for me, but fail flamboyantly. Don’t fail the way we’re doing in Chelsea, which is mediocre. We can’t help it, because our airwaves are so expensive […] it gets out of scale in New York. And as a result we have great shows, but that’s all we have. Even if they stink, it’s always the same top of the Himalayas. You don’t know how high the mountains are unless you see the whole picture."
Jerry Saltz, to curators and artists at the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis (via jenlindblad)
wonderful! my thoughts exactly!
