"From early on, very early on, I understood that art is not about what you say. It’s about these other things that you don’t say."
—Cai Guo-Qiang

"When I decided to start making the Plaster Surrogates(1982/83) in quantity, I knew I couldn’t make thousands unless I had molds. I more or less learned how to make molds but I didn’t always make them myself. I would have other people do it. It was a solution to the problem of quantity."
-Allan McCollum
