Art is to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced.
Incorrect documentation is often worse than no documentation.
I think it's important to have some documentation of the past.
I'm a hoarder. For me, documentation has always been key, and I've kept everything from my past.
I think it's very important to get this stuff on film, not just the behind-the-scenes of the process, but also the interviews with the women. We're going to try to do some on-the-street filming, getting people's reactions to the work, and seeing if we can get some street harassment happening on film so people can see what we're talking about. It's important to have some type of documentation so people can see what happens when we create this artwork and why I'm creating it.
If you struggle with issues of documentation, issues of your health care, issues of whether or not you'll be punished for being open about who you are, those things affect how you can be employed or not employed, how you can get an apartment or not get an apartment, how it is that you feel free or not free.
I have other projects to do. I try not to let that documentation interfere with my present day.
Documentation is not understanding, process is not discipline, formality is not skill.
Lack of documentation is becoming a problem for acceptance.
Documentation is misleading, because the performance is dead. So the very early works were not documented at all.
Even though it is better if the system can be used without documentation, it may be necessary to provide help and documentation. Any such information should be easy to search, focused on the user's task, list concrete steps to be carried out, and not be too large.
It is deeply shocking and incomprehensible to me that despite volumes of documentation and living witnesses who can attest to the horrors of the Holocaust, there are still those who would deny it.
History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation.
From the very early stage when I started doing performance art in the '70s, the general attitude - not just me, but also my colleagues - was that there should not be any documentation, that the performance itself is artwork and there should be no documentation.
. . . I felt like a new man; but I was disappointed with the photographic documentation because I still saw always the old self.
Translations are a partial and precious documentation of the changes the text suffers.
The guy who knows about computers is the last person you want to have creating documentation for people who don't understand computers.
It is partly the absence of recorded history which sends women now to the lives of women past for the detailed documentation of their daily lives.
When I did "Seven Easy Pieces," I actually re-performed the performances of other artists. It was such difficult work because I had to really go through the documentation, look through the sources, to ask the witnesses who saw it.
My administration is going to stop the tens of thousands of people coming in from Syria. We have no idea who they are, where they come from. There's no documentation. There's no paperwork. It's going to end badly folks. It's going to end very, very badly.
