TOWARDS A MANIFESTO OF THE MEANINGLESSNESS IN
ART
be playful
meaning is not created nor injected
meaning is discovered
invent
art does survive on originality
create for the senses
be well informed about theory
but do not create from it
set your own rules
know your art history and your
philosophy
without art there is no art theory
be obsessive compulsive
and understand the nature of paranoia
be quick
there is no time for the contemplative
do not look for origins
start from the middle
do not have a just idea
just have ideas
risk to be impertinent and irrelevant
to the world
do not look for truth
know that truth is a fascist idea
avoid verticalism
further is more interesting that
higher
do not moralize or capitalize on the ignorance of
the viewer
know that you are privileged
but do not feel too guilty about it
do not try to educate the masses
do not make pedagogical art
do not seek accessibility
abstract politics are more subversive
be aware that your ideas might
eventually
be absorbed by the institutions
avoid trying to say
but attempt to show
do not re-present
but present
stay away from dualism
avoid all binary logic
do not be afraid of the words
beautiful
seek a second innocence
cynicism belongs to the gods
have fun!
--the Ludic Stratagem Movement
