Artists have never been completely free. Even the greatest of the past had to deal with the whimsical mood of their masters and what not to get by. Throughout history,though, there have always been some visionary and courageous outsiders, who trusted the artists even when they were lying. Besides, we’re all untruthful; we promise a bridge where there’s no river.

-----Maurizio Cattelan

艺术家从未完全自由过。
即使是历史中最伟大的艺术家也不得不面对金主们反复无常的态度。

尽管纵观历史，总存在一些勇敢的理想主义的局外人，在艺术家说谎时依然相信他们。
然而我们都同样虚伪；我们所许诺建造的渡桥之下，从来就不存在河流。

这真痛苦——当然，也一点不值得同情。

一天不喝就难受了！

艺术家越敏锐，越像一面镜子，

让观者从中窥见世界的真相。

为此他得用锋利的石英将自己的心不停打磨，

这个痛苦的过程，要占据他的一生。

他能给自己剩下什么呢。
