Charlie Boyle
Artist’s Statement
"Symbiosis, a concept of mutality developed in ecology and biology, is seen by Kirho
Kurokawa as the most intelligent philosophy to adopt in a world culture where fashions, trends
and cultural movements all rapidly become international. It is a philosophy of'both and'rather
than'either of ; a practice of mix-and-match rather than creation from scratch ; an ethic of
inclusion rather than exclusion. And, for me, one of the most essential statements of Post
Modern culture to-date. There's no right way, just endless possibilities-a web of choices."Biography
