"It’s not moral, it’s not about educating, it’s not about telling people what to believe, rather it’s about showing how the artists, as living beings, perceive it to be and the necessity to express and show it."

"Art reflects the times and turbulence of what it means to be alive. It’s not just decorative. The artists in the collection and the preoccupation of the collection asks questions and I think that’s what art should do."
Franko B
"There’s no separation between my life, art and politics. I don’t choose to make political work; I make work, which is political because it engages not by design, but by being in the 'public domain / space'."

"IN THE ERA OF GLOBAL COMMUNICATION, FUCK YOU IS A CORPORATE PRAYER, BEING A PHANTASM OF CORPORATE MEDITATION, "FUCK YOU" ACTS AS A MAGICAL INCANTATION NECESSARY TO GET CONTRACTS ON SPECIAL TERMS, AS WELL AS THE MOST PROMISING PLACES FOR BUILDING OIL RIGS AND LAYING OIL PIPES. THE OIL COMPANIES USE THIS INCANTATION IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER QUICKLY AND COMPLETELY, AND TO AVOID TERMINOLOGICAL CONFUSION IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF BUSINESS ELITES."
