'I feel fear ... it's very rational that I feel fear in terms of a biological response. It makes sense to have built into me something that makes me fear death ... The sheer fact that I can face death is a huge privilege ... the chance of me being here is astronomical ... I had to go through incredibly fortuitous process to have the opportunity to contemplate death ... so I hope that I'm rational enough that every time I think - soon I'll be dead - I think, but right now I'm well and truly alive. That's the great privilege of facing death, having the opportunity to contemplate it in the first place ... '
November 2014, David Walsh, founder of Museum of Old and New Art.
