You Can't Make Anything Authentic

Art In Progress. Mak Has Occupied A Unique And Valuable Space As International Host For Discourse Between The Arts And Architecture.

You Might Say That When You Step Inside, You're Entering A Honorific Space, But That's Something Totally Different Than Experiencing It. And In Architecture The Experience Comes First. That Has The Deepest Effect On Us.

We Only Exist In Terms Of How We Think We Exist. Meaning Every Cultural Development Is Fabricated And Can Be Fabricated.

Architecture Is A Social Activity That Has To Do With Some Sort Of Communication Or Places Of Interaction, And That To Change The Environment Is To Change Behaviour.

So I Am Totally Aware That When I Defend The Autonomy Of Art I'm Going Counter To My Own Development. It's More An Instinctive Reaction, Meant To Protect The Private Aspect Of The Work, The Part I Am Most Interested In And Which Nowadays Is At Risk In Our Culture.
