Doug Aitken Mediums Quotations

One of the core reasons for creating 'Station to Station' was to provide a space for exploration and cultural friction between different mediums. It should be natural for mediums like music, film and art to cross over, and we wanted to empower that process.

I have always just made things. I don't see what I make as being defined by a medium or aesthetic. It probably comes more from a fundamental restlessness, an attempt to create tools for questioning or understanding, and I have always been interested in using a wide spectrum of mediums to do this.

I always thought about 'Station to Station' as an approach. It was about creating an alternative platform for culture where different mediums could co-exist.

When you make work, the concept is the basis for it; all choices of aesthetics or mediums come later.
