OK: What’s your attitude towards the classical in art?

SH: The same as my attitude towards anything classical – enough of that old rubbish, let’s have something different! People tend to forget that it’s not cultural objects that are important but the social relations within the communities that produce them. That’s why all forms of culture die. On the whole cultural objects cease to be relevant because the social conditions that produced them no longer exist.

OK: Who are the artists you respect?

SH: Those that quit art. Ben Morea, Henry Flynt, Laura Gemser, there aren’t many. Art is dead baby, burn the museums!
