The work of art is a scream of freedom.

We wish to work in total freedom.

It appears to be monumental only because it's art.

We have created indoor installations inside museums, like the Wrapped Floor at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 1968, and not monumental at all by any standards.

People think our work is monumental because it's art, but human beings do much bigger things: they build giant airports, highways for thousands of miles, much, much bigger than what we create.

Often the art in New York is related to the buildings, to grandiose things.
