“I am an artist who uses second-hand images and first-hand experiences.
If you’ll be my blind date I will be yours.
And if we still like one another in ten years time, we can call it love at first sight.
Art, unlike other love potions, does not induce action. It does not leave torn curtains or bruised lips. Instead of being noisy, it makes you hold your tongue. Instead of making you cry, it freezes your tears. Instead of making you jump up and down, it stops your motion.
It might be exorcism, but it’s not revenge. It might be not enough, but it’s very close. It might not expose anything, but it draws beautiful curtains”
– Marlene Dumas, Blind Dates and Drawn Curtains
