FUCK YEAH MANIFESTO

This is a Manifesto I wrote for a site specific piece (called STOP BEING CREATIVE//RESPECT ART) I performed on december 28th 2010 in a small town in México called San Pancho. Since it was very much for that context, some of what is said in here might not be precise or even understandable out of it. Whatever.

FUCK YEAH MANIFESTO


a) FUCK Creativity as a pretension of originality, there is nothing new.

b) YEAH to recycling, taking old instead of new as long as, by doing that, we contribute to the production of meaning

c) FUCK the Author-God. FUCK the Artist-Creator.

d) FUCK moving for moving and doing for doing

e) YEAH to making, yeah to decontextualizing

f) YEAH to producing (through making) the space for different meanings to arise

g) FUCK History and its dogmatization Project. FUCK tradition and its prejudgeful gaze.

h) YEAH to History as a source of inspiration and contrast, YEAH to an archeological gaze upon it, with the critical focus on its modes of production of discourse and meaning, more than on the discourse and meaning themselves.

i) FUCK exoticism of folklore as a patronizing way of neocolonialism.

j) YEAH to analyzing our own social constructions, and the dogmas they conceal. How many prehispanic gods do I have to know in order to feel the same.

k) FUCK laziness of analysis and therefore, FUCK unanalyzed generalization of ideas. FUCK the simplistic (Not any bridge is necessarily good for anybody, and not any wall is necessarily bad).

l) FUCK the notion of inherent. There is no such thing.

m) FUCK representation and its politics of totalitarism.

n) FUCK taking action and then not being responsible for its consequences, FUCK HIT AND RUN, but also FUCK assuming the consequences in a victimistic way, FUCK THE OTHER CHEEK.

o) YEAH to acknowledging the political potential of each one of our actions

p) FUCK YEAH, STOP BEING CREATIVE

q) FUCK YEAH, RESPECT ART

r) FUCK YEAH!!!
