"We are harnessing the energies of the imagination and directing it at invading the viewer's space. It is an act of aggression to remove the frame; it is an assault to lay claim to the space in front of the frame. We need to put a barbarous siege upon the public imagination. (...) A work which projects off the wall carries that projected potency to within the viewer's safe distance - it becomes more aggressive and demands a longer time for assessment. A new fantasy has to be created and projected by the viewer who has passed from a position of domination to that of submission. The energy of the work is now in a position of power and influence. An idea can be seeded".
