PUBLIC MARKS with tag manifesto

Le Temps des Manifestes porte un regard historique et contemporain sur cette forme littéraire si prisée par les avantgardes artistiques. A travers la présentation de certains des manifestes les plus représentatifs, cette exposition explore les relations ambigües qui lient l’art et la communication, notamment par le biais du graphisme, avec une question sous-jacente essentielle : comment les artistes se manifestent-ils aujourd’hui ?

12. Keep moving.

1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
3. There is no editing stage.
4. Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it.
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
7. Once you're done you can throw it away.
8. Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.
9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
11. Destruction is a variant of done.
12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
13. Done is the engine of more.
