"The exhibition at Dia came together like a dream. It was almost like making a movie, developing scene by scene until I saw the end result. It was totally collaborative. It's not just my art, but that of everybody who worked on it."
"I deny the concept of sole ownership of artwork. My work is quite often site-specific, tied to a particular context, and it has to be redone every time-the work has a life of its own, like a person."
"When I moved to London in 1968, my first project was a film, which appears in the Dia show: A Study of Relationships Between Inner and Outer Space-it's a piece in which I interview people about the moon landing."
"I was included in the 1968 Venice Biennale. In the Argentine pavilion, I presented my newsroom installation Office of Information About the Vietnam War at Three Levels: The Visual Image, Text, and Audio."
The exhibition at Dia was a collaborative effort, likened to filmmaking, where the artist oversaw the construction of the work. The artist emphasizes the importance of collective ownership in art, noting that each piece is site-specific and changes with each display. The artist's early projects included a film about the moon landing and an installation on the Vietnam War, showcasing a commitment to engaging with contemporary issues and the community. Each exhibition offers a new interpretation of the work, keeping the artist engaged.
