Lot Essay

"It's a bit like 'Escape from Alcatraz', you have to get a nail-file if you can get hold of one, saw the bars through. You have to use what you've got, and either it does the job or it doesn't. It is articulating your way out of something." (S. Lucas, in: B. Riemschneider and U. Grosenick (eds.), 'Art at the Turn of the Millennium', Cologne 1999, p. 326.)
