| nettime: CALL FOR MANIFESTOES |
Attention Dadaists, Howlers, Prowlers, Cranks, Despots, Zealots, 'Pataphysicians and Misunderstood Prophets! As part of the blast5drama we are providing a constructivist-inspired-screen/tribune/stand/kiosk-stageset vehicle and a captive audience for your proscriptive rhetoric. We invite you to come to the Sandra Gering Gallery to read, chant, or rant your manifesto from atop our platform. We believe that the literary form of the manifesto has too long been associated with crackpots, bombasts and Italians. We would like to rescue the manifesto from the dusty, smoke- filled recesses of art history. Come help us to free this powerful form from the degraded and underappreciated hovel where it now shudders, under the thumb of clods like the Unabomber. Your manifesto may take any form and be of any length so long as it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to spew forth. If you cannot be present physically to perform your manifesto, feel free to email it to blast5drama and we will enlist some fanatic to read it live. Readings will be held on Saturday, 28 December 1996 beginning at 3 p.m.at Sandra Gering Gallery, 476 Broome Street, New York, and will be broadcast on the Web on December 29 and 30 at the blast5drama theater of operations (http://www.interport.net/~xaf). email to: [email protected] -- * distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission * <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, * collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets * more info: [email protected] and "info nettime" in the msg body * URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: [email protected]
