Art Manifesto 1: Merdisme



Merdiste Manifesto

We Merdistes refuse to take art classes. We Merdistes believe that anyone can and should be able to do things with their hands. We don't believe in prettiness. It is the meeting place of creation - the more merde the better.

Beauty by serendipity.

Merdisme is a suddenism - the abrupt and cheerful meeting of material.

The 5 Merdes:

1) The Merdiste is unaware of the use of tools. This is not to say that tools should be tossed aside, or that one tool becomes more important than the next. Rather, the Merdiste creates with what comes to hand - let the beer bottle, the coffee capsule be her brush.

2) The Merdiste produces a Merde once a day.

3) The Merdiste is open to friendly merdes - Merde can come from anywhere.

4) The Merdiste explores their position within the history of Merde.

5) The Merdiste exhibits only in Toilets.
