Q Talk to me about heresy. Is a heretic disposition – as embodied in your own work and that of those you respect – more enchanting to you than a revolutionary one?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
2) Q Do objects exist independently of you?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
3) Q How would you react to the classification of your work as ‘non-art’? By this classification I don’t mean ‘anti-art’ (or an equivalently antagonistic reproach), but specifically ‘non art’: a use of art that remains constitutively foreign to the norms and aims governing the properly artistic practice of art?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
4)Q In line with some of the leading thinkers in contemporary realist philosophy, do you concur that Nihilism, far from being some form of existential quandary, is in fact something of a speculative opportunity?
A Yes! Yes! Yes!
