Le Monde. 1996. 
Conrad Atkinson, ‘All The Wounds’. 1997
“Not all of us make corporate art, not all of us think art should shock the English middle classes, not all of us are more interested in our own blood than the blood of those dying in Iraq and Iran. Perhaps art can’t really make a difference but it can highlight alternative ways of seeing and living. We don’t know if art, which nowadays is so quickly appropriated by advertising and entertainment can change things, but we never know when we might need it, where it is going to come from next, what it might look like.”
Conrad Atkinson in conversation with Sue Hubbard for Artist’s Newsletter.
