Vito Acconci speaking to Hans Ulrich Obrist: "...I paid attention to phrases like, "A person who lives by the sword dies by the sword." In other words, if a project starts out as private, it ends private; if something is meant to be public, it better start at least as a semi-public project. Now, one is private, and two is a couple, a mirror image, but three is a crowd; three spoils the couple, so it must be the beginning of public..."

    "Collectives are a big selling point to counter perceptions of rampant materialism and star-driven commerce."

    No, that can't be what it's all about.
    Knowles Eddy Knowles doesn't have to worry at all about materialism or star-driven commerce.
