"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"I don’t think it has to do with the size or the scale of the work. It has to do with a deep reason why you are doing that work. It can be a small piece or a big piece and meaningless...just as empty of real content as a huge public sculpture or a small drawing can be totally empty."
- Gabriel Orozco
