Wolf Von Lenkiewicz

"I think language is shared through time. There is a shift definitely, but I think we can grasp it. Then we can start deconstructing their intentions by subjecting them to other intentions. I take Michaelangelo's intensions and I subject them to Warho's. At no point do I doubt that I understand their intentions. That is very strange to a post-modern way of thinking actually, which would say that we could never access the past in any real way. ... One starts realizing that artistic intention is accessessible and Roalnd Barthes is wrong"
- Wolf Von Lenkiewicz (Elephant Magazine, Winter 2010)
