Best Sentiments Uttered at 'Prologue / Reinvention,' in Rem's Serpentine Pavilion, 14/07/06

REM KOOLHAAS :

"As an architect i am severely handicapped by a fear of enclosed spaces."
"Architecture is the least curious of disciplines...Journalism is the most, but unrewarded by power structures."
The socialism of the interview versus the capitalism of the art world...

LIAM GILLICK :

"The artist always has the 'interior' or 'the street' as a refuge or support system. The curator or institutional worker does not."
"The factory model for art spaces is full of illusions of honesty and frugality." (a humble embarassment of culture?!)
The Revovated versus The Virtual...

JULIA PEYTON-JONES :
"How can we create power from a position of smallness."

HANS ULRICH-OBRIST :
"Expansion through content."

OVERALL consensus being that what what is really worth talking about is the 'Structure of organisation...'. Especially in the context of a transiatory architectural outpost of an institution with a bar in it.
