Kaspars Groševs 1983 * Lai arī neprotu peldēt, dažkārt mēdzu saprātīgā dziļumā stāvēt jūrā un skatīties uz vienu vai otru pusi. * Izstādei būs ieejas durvis, kas kalpos arī kā izeja. Aiz tām nekas neslēpsies un nemēģinās arī kaut ko atņemt. * Uzzinot ko jaunu, nekad nevar īsti saprast, vai tas nav bijis zināms jau iepriekš. Mēdz gadīties, ka grūtāk aizmirst ēnu, nekā atcerēties materiālu vai krāsu. Tāpat mēdz gadīties, ka tīkamāk ir atcerēties iepriekš nezināmo. * Kad mākslinieks un kultūras teorētiķis Brendons LaBelle pusaudža vecumā aizrakstīja vēstuli rakstniekam Viljamam Berouzam, atbildes vietā viņš saņēma pastkartīti no Kanzasas ar vienu frāzi: “Words are your enemy”1. * Arī mākslas galerijām mēdz būt avārijas izejas. 1 Vārdi ir tavs ienaidnieks. Angļu. val. * Even though I can’t swim, sometimes I would stand in the sea at a reasonable depth and then look in one direction and then in another. * The exhibition has an entrance door, which also serves as an exit. Nothing will hide itself behind it and no one will try to take anything away from you. * When you get to learn something new, you can’t really know if you hadn’t already known it. It happens that it is more difficult to forget a shadow than to remember a material or a colour. It also happens that it is much nicer to remember something previously unknown. * When the artist and culture theoretician Brandon LaBelle as an adolescent wrote a letter to the writer William S. Burroughs, he received a postcard as an answer from Kansas, which contained just one phrase, “Words are your enemy”. * There are emergency exits in art galleries, too.
