About the exhibition: Patricia Grzonka, art historian and art critic

"If you do something that has nothing to be, whoever does it has to love the material he chooses and be patient with it. Otherwise he draws attention to the material that is something specific while it was nothing that should be done; or he draws attention to himself while nothing is anonymous. " John Cage
