“I very much like the Reina Sofía in Madrid, which has to do with the fact that Manuel Borja-Villel treats his collection as a kind of universal archive. That’s a fascinating thing. But for the moment my favourite is Christoph Schlingensief’s opera village, a cultural centre in Remdoogo in Burkina Faso. Museums will become different – they will become community centres and art schools. You have to be radically different and to rethink the notion of the museum, not just in its physical substance but as a social organization.”
