Attended the Manifesto Hack session as this week’s studio activity. We drop done words associated with fashion and classify them, arrange the size and colour, weave a piece of textile on the google sheet in collaboration, displaying our definition and thoughts towards Fashion.
Georgina also introduces us her favourite artist, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, an artist who displays her daily work as her art, bringing her domestic space to the art museum, inviting the viewers to see her routine tasks, which are normally ignored and taken for granted in daily life.
Maintenance requires lots of effort and energy, just to keep things in place and look the same.
Her manifesto is very poetic and flows with her own thoughts, which inspired us to write our own manifesto: what we observe, what we want to respond, what practice we will work on, and what are the small tasks we would like to start.
It is much easier to break the thoughts into small patches, instead of a grandeur, epic artistic manifesto aiming to shocking the world. We drop down our manifesto on the area we want to focus on the google sheet, mark them with our unique colour code and expand the territory by adding on details to the manifesto.
As a person who changes mind quickly and has too many interests, my manifesto is also like me, spreading around in the google sheet.
