It is very difficult to go out of a condition in which we are all. [...] To me this exhibition is really like a birth or a formation of creatures. There is an attempt to allow a will to emerge that would be an inhuman will.

When you are thinking about jazz and you are thinking about history, it’s never just inventing by itself, it’s about quoting. […] Artists have always been in dialogue. They are dealing and negotiating not just their contemporary time, but we are negotiating current ideas about aesthetics critically.
