| Theworld is filled to suffocating...Every word, every image, is leased and mortgaged.We know that a pictureis but a spacein which a variety of images [and other signifiers],none of them original, blend and clash.A picture is a tissue of quotationsdrawn from the innumerablecenters of culture ...We can only imitate a gesturethat is always anterior ...The viewer is the tableton which all the quotationsthat make up a painting are inscribed ...A painting's meaning lies not in its origin,but in its destination.Sherrie Levine |
