When I heard about Dada for the first time at the age of eighteen I was gobsmacked, completely blown away wow and they had been doing this for so long before I even existed, let alone my parents! What awesome stuff, that's exactly what somehow captivated me completely and without any resistance... I wanted to know everything about it. At the time, the internet didn't even officially exist, which drove me to bookshops and libraries to find out everything and anything about it.

Today I am still fascinated. Today, when I'm at an art exhibition, I sometimes look at new artists with a twinkle in my eye and think that it's been done before and even better, but I never say a word! I smile and enjoy the evening with all the art enthusiasts.
Art is art because we want to see it that way, I love the sentence from people who are not interested in art: they look at a work of art and then say I can do that too, yes but you don't do it, I always think art comes from can not from want, smiled thinking into the room.
