Graham Little Bucks Fizz, 1998/2005 Acrylic on hardboard (MDF), 112 x 83 x 83 cm »I'm trying to make something that holds people's attention for as long as possible. I don't know why you'd want that, but it's definitely always been the desire for me. You can't see my sculptures all at once, so you've got to use your memory a bit. Comparing different parts. You go back to examine the part you looked at before and compare it to the thing you've just seen.« - from Interview With Stephen Hepworth for the British Council Exhibition Tailsliding in 2001 (http://collection.britishcouncil.org/html/artist/artist.aspx?id=19105). »I was always attempting to find a connection with the art of past that I so admired. Before I made the drawings I was building sculptures that tried to deal with design’s relation to abstraction and baroque’s relation to modernism. I was decorating brutalist / baroque type structures with patterns from girl’s dresses. However, I had not addressed my obsessive love affair with figurative painting from the 15th to 19th centuries.« - from An Interview With Graham Little. By Barry Neuman, in Boiler Magazine, August 2005 (http://www.boilermag.it/article.php?sid=475). 48

Andres Lutz / Anders Guggisberg Reisebibliothek, 2000/2004 Models of books, rack, inkjet prints, 65 x 20 x 25 cm, ed. 3 The fungi empire actually evolves on the shelves. The fictional wall of books, this city’s largest, unrecovered art treasure, stores these modified subject matters in allembracing pseudology. This library is a secret, spellbinding wall. It breaths. - Peter Weber, Zwischen den Pilzfäden (In Among the Mushroom Threads), in The Great Unknown. Andres Lutz / Anders Guggisberg, ed. Konrad Bitterli and Andreas Baur (Verlag für moderne Kunst Nürnberg, 2002). 49
