“I think all of my work is premised on humor in some way, if you take humor as a way of challenging convention and perceptions as they exist. Not like Joe Pesci says, funny ha-ha, but ironic. I think we’re living through a period where maybe that’s not valued as highly, but I do think that the human mind seeks a kind of expansion of itself, which, for lack of a better word, you could call ‘something new.’You have to discover it, and nobody can tell you where it is.” — Mel Bochner
