“Contemporary art is the practice that allows you to approach the unknown and, instead of fearing it, become curious about it. This is one of its highest outcomes: it trains people to leave a door open to possibility, to avoid being immediately suspicious of what they don’t understand, and to draw closer with interest to see if there’s something to enjoy.”
