Manifesto
We are trying to open up the eyes of everyone to art. To see things differently and to see them as others view the same art piece. Art is not what you see and what you think. It is what it makes you want to vocalize and what it happens you want to do with your body. By looking at the way museums are structured. There are multiple flaws within museums, itself. Museums serve to control our views of the past. They do this by failing to account historical argument without providing alternative or both viewpoints of the time period. In addition, by presenting the past in terms of a coherent, linear, unified narrative. As well, by creating complex audio, visual and textual experiences, in which the observer is overwhelmingly confronted by the massive weight of all the physical evidence and after being penetrated in such an intimate way by a holistic bodily experience, observers are then typically directed to gift shops, where they are likely encouraged to purchase books which can help to further reinforce the desired propaganda of the museum's particular ideology. Lastly, they present a view of history based entirely upon the romanticization of the achievements of great men, brilliant thinkers, cultural or scientific innovators, war heroes and their technologies. The real questions are what interpretive strategies art museum visitors deploy? What are the implications for communication policies within art museums? To survive, the visitor must establish a “no-place” that is located in the present time. For visitors to use the what we have done in the museum to create a new way of seeing and occupying the world. To let it shape their lives in society, transform the cities, and shift their perception along with the ground beneath our feet. Every project has a voice or bias. To connect everyone by separating him or her, for the fact that one cannot connect without separating. To take in space because we live in space, and not just the space that we are use to seeing taken up by object, but the space that we can move around in and express the way we see the art. We intend to break the laws that prevent the development of meaningful activities in life and culture. The setting of a stage to extend dialogue between body, building, art and the space we are in. to break free from the ‘proper’ rules in the place.
