“Maybe what's happening in the art world is the exhaustion of the distribution system. We've had 60-70 (?) years of the white box as an art container. How far can you go with things to insert into, sell and diplay in a white box? Often the work I've seen that's interesting doesn't fit comfortably in this environment. (video work is a good example). Maybe it's discipline provincialism on my part but I feel the exciting ideas are coming out of design and architecture, people working cross discipline. I do know a few artists who are working collaboratively with people in other fields. And what about a Sasha Baron Cohen who has chosen a different form to distribute his work. I think the next exciting thing in the art world will come out of someone working with interactive/web/distributed devices and they may have no need for the existing commodity model of white boxes.”
