"I am put off by museums in general; they reek of a holly death which offends my sense of reality. Moreover, apart form my personal views, most advanced art of the last half-dozen years is, in my view, inappropriate for museum display. It is an art of the world: enormous scale, environmental scope, mixed media, spectator participation, technology, themes drawn from the daily milieu, and so forth. Museum do more than isolate such work from life they subtly sanctify it and thus kill it." -- statement from Kaprow's introduction to the publication.
