“Museums are managers of consciousness. They give us an
interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves
in it. They are, if you want to put it in positive terms, great
educational institutions. If you want to put it in negative terms, they
are propaganda machines.”by Hans Haacke

“I wanted to make something visual, physical, visceral to reflect the butchery they are inflicting on our planet: a visual scream that gives voice to the calamitous cost of the climate crisis, often on the most marginalised communities across the globe. BUTCHERED is also a tribute to the heroic work done in opposition to this destruction, and to the tireless activists who choose to disrupt, disagree and disobey.” — Anish Kapoor

“The most interesting characteristic of the cube is that it is relatively uninteresting. Compared to other three-dimensional forms, the cube lacks the expressive force of the sphere, the dynamic quality of the pyramid, or the graceful complexity of the human figure. But it is what it is — a square in three dimensions — and that alone is enough.”
Sol LeWitt
