Ragnar Kjartansson Citas

• Living through art is a better way to live - not necessarily making art, but being surrounded by art. I think it's just as banal as trying to show my version of the beauty in the world. It's about beauty at the end of the day.

• The best trick I learned was when a priest came to me when I was an altar boy and said, "Always, when you make a mistake, pretend it's ritual." It's beautiful!

• Lo que me atrae del teatro y la religión son estos rituales hechos para hacerte sentir emociones. Es tan banal de una manera interesante. En el arte visual se trata de hacerte sentir emociones, pero es más sutil.

• A lot of the stuff I've done is inspired by the location. Usually my works are pretty site-specific. There are a lot of shows that are older works, but often when I do new work for a show, it tends to talk to the space or the idea of the museum.

• I often really like to play with documenting my performances cinematically. Cinematic documentation is much more interesting than the performance itself.

• I was very prejudiced when I started arts school. I, like all of those kids, was like, "I don't like this modern stuff." I came to arts school with a very stupid, conservative set of ideas about art.

• I'm so used to being in a theater where there is always a narrative, but I'm more about the still moment, the painter inside me.

• I had a total revelation with the feminist moment, with Carolee Scheeman and Marina Abromovic and of course Joan Jonas; that was a big breakthrough with me. And through them, I was introduced to Chris Burden and Bruce Nauman and Vito Acconci. You can almost call it a gang, because the works are always talking together. That stuff had a huge impact on me, but other than that, my interest had always been old paintings.
