A: The annoying thing is that whenever people hear the word 'art,' they start acting like lawyers. Whenever you mention that word, they start getting very stiff and nervous, and begin asking you what you mean, as if you were signing a contract and they wanted to know what you mean when you say you're going to 'pay' them a thousand dollars. Critics are the worst. I guess it's their job, but you say one word and they start asking you what you mean, but if you ask them the same thing, they behave as if they've said the most obvious thing in the world. If I were a critic, I would worry about my words rather than the artist's words. Everyone knows they'll say just about anything, and that most artists don't have any idea what they mean anyway.

...

B: The Ultramoderne buildings of the thirties transcend Modernist 'historicist realism and naturalism, and avoid the avant-garde categories of 'painting, sculpture, and architecture.' The Ultraist does not 'make' history in order to impress those who believe in one history. The Twin
Towers, though they might seem to embrace Ultraism's love for repetition, continue to shape space, and so they are Modernist. The distance between them is false.

A: Did you hear about the guy who walked between them on a tightrope?

B: I didn't, but that's only more evidence that the Towers are modern through and through. The empire State is neither a thing or a place. It's a sign, more like the ziggurats or the pyramids. It's like a prime number, a little gateway to infinity.
