Mircea Cantor (b. 1977)

'Don't you think it is important for the world, in general, to think about the future?...I want to take the new as new and not as a co-operation with the past. The present and the future have both to do with conceiving solutions, and we don't want to do it. So art becomes like business or a love affair; one must continue using the old tricks that you learned in the past.' (M. Cantor, quoted in 'A Future World', Flash Art, November - December 2006, p.97.)
