"Such cultural moments are worth dwelling on, in part because they illuminate whether you have a gatekeeper mentality or not. I might not think I do – because I spend plenty of time whining about the milieu in which I work, and what’s wrong with it – but I’ve instinctively, inwardly, pushed back against a lot of democratising developments in recent years. I want to ‘keep up’, but my keeping up primarily involves adhering to the same platforms that I know and understand: going to galleries, seeing new art that plays out within the old infrastructure. (I still listen to vinyl.) When the very structure changes, or new arenas muscle in, I tense up a bit. This might be a flawed corner but it’s my flawed corner, is what I think, despite myself. The hard thing to determine is whether you’re trying to maintain some perceived standard, or if you’ve become traditionalist, or if, more simply, you’re a snob.'
