   “I visited galleries and museums throughout the city, looking for clues as to why my work had not been well received .... I eventually realized that visitors to galleries were being conditioned to assume that a simple reading of the text would instantly convey the message in language-based works ...” —Michael Winkler, The Image of Language, p. 110
