2008 - Conversation with Max Neuhaus, Lynne Cooke, Josef Helfenstein director of the Menil Collection, Houston, Saturday, May 3.


Although I work with sound, I don’t make music. I build entities with sound. And this entity is as much an entity as a piece of bronze sculpture, as a piece of steel sculpture, as a painting... In one sense, it’s very fragile. If you unplug it, whsst! It’s gone. But in the other sense, it’s more robust, because you have a document that you can always make it again. So it’s this kind of contradiction.”
