    gouache on paper

    "The moment you enter a theatre or a museum, or when you read a book, you accept the rules that are in place and you submerge yourself temporarily in this reality governed by its own laws. The museum is a kind of staged reality and it’s that effect which I try to awaken with my art. I, myself, am the curator of the Museum of Imaginary Totality (MIT), I can expand the mental spaces of the museum ever further, I can keep on creating new departments and building new wings."

    Thorvaldur Thorsteinsson, in: NRC, 21.3.1994
