+===== What Art Manifestos? =====
-But let's go back to the early 20th century, now 100 years ago.
+But let's go back to the early 20th century, now 100 years ago. Suddenly there was Futurism, and it started with a bang, or rather: a Manifesto by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti (1909). Maybe a bang too since near the end he describes a car crash. Other manifestos would follow, maybe the most important one was L'arte dei Rumori or The Art Of Noises, by Luigi Russolo (1913) in which he describes the new aesthetics of speed, noise, electronics and city soundscapes. Earlier there had been already the Manifesto of Futurist Musicians written by Francesco Balilla Pratella (1910), and what we remember is that he warns musicians to abstain from participating in any competition. So we never did till now. Then the constructivists would follow, dada and surrealism, etc.. till today. But never got the Manifesto so radical, innovating, wild as the ones the futurists wrote. It is important to understand the media at that time, and the distribution was now secured by widely read newspapers, so no need to print leaflets and flyers anymore. But then again, not the masses would embrace the new arts. Gradually manifestos would appear in specialized publications, and the target audience were the secluded art world.
+Nowadays you can find themn collected in printed anthologies, and internet sites. Overviews that show how important these manifestos have been. But who today has read or even heard of the Art Strike Papers from Stewart Home (1990-93)? see: https://monoskop.org/images/c/c1/The_Art_Strike_Papers.pdf

+And can [[https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2890-abolish-the-family|Abolish the Family:A Manifesto for Care and Liberation]] by Sophie Lewis be called an art or social manifesto? Or the stylistically and also content wise inspiring [[https://www.hajarpress.com/books/experiments-in-imagining-otherwise|Experiments in imagining otherwise]] by Lola Olufemi? Maybe it points to artists who are not only into fiction today, and are different than the new classification of multidisciplinarity as science-art, leaving out social, political, ecological, gender and any other dimensions? Oh, maybe it is good to leave it all on the edge of confusion and ignorance. Otherwise the purpose of a manifesto will certainly miss its purpose...
