To add: Milk pieces (Andres Serrano, Wolfgang Laib, Karsten Nicolai)

"An empty canvas, apparently really empty, that says nothing and is without significance. Almost dull, in fact. In reality, however, crammed with thousands of undertone tensions and full of expectancy. Slightly apprehensive lest it should be outraged ... It can contain anything but cannot sustain everything ... An empty canvas is a living wonder -- much more beautiful than many pictures."

Wassily Kandinsky
