J. - Oh, you're such a Calvinist. The way I see it is if it is something that you enjoy, you should do it, why make things difficult. I guess it also has something to do with experimenting. Most people we know drink and maybe take drugs so it's just taking it and making art out of it.
(Douglas Gordon making an interview to Jonathan Monk)
"Monk invites a group of friends to spend an evening in a Bar. Nothing very original there, if not that certain tables in the Exhibition Bar and the Salat fedet are covered with blank canvas. You can guess the rest. The evening passes, the ash-trays fill up and the beers follow one after another. (...) in Monk's art bars are specially chosen from the new social habits for which they are the vehicle, for their capacity to develop new forms of Utopia based on everyday and for the contemporary mythologies which logically follow from them."
"in Capitalist society, work is the cause of all intelectual degeneracy of all organic distortion"
