ciphert account as well.)
I've been finding out slowly each day that there is a shackled and chained Dadaist in my inner artistic soul. And as is such for many of the Dadaist of old, I am compelled to write a Manifesto of the artistic soul and purpose. I want to better explore the meaningful desires, passions, motivations, perceptions, experiences and dialogues I have with myself on some thus far restricted level.
I'm not gong to create a manifestos right now as I've not actually thought it through and things like this really should take time, thought and investment before being flung about, but I think I need to compile one nonetheless. What I am going to do for now is list the traits, desires and motivations I find every day that will lead to the formation and realization of my own personal art Manifesto.
I'm sorry for the hoity toity art talk, but when I express ideas like this, it comes out this way, it just feels right and allows me to express the thoughts and ideas in the most expressive way. I have a varied palate of vocabulary and I'm not about to limit myself in choice of medium on this issue. =)
This is going to be an on-going journal. I'm going to add to it, alter it, and think on it until I've come to some kind of understanding that leads me to being confident in creating a manifesto that I can proudly stand by.
So then, here goes:
*) I want to learn it all so that I may have the tools, the ability and the strength to express anything I am approached with.
*) I want to experience everything I can emotionally so that I may better understand how to express the experiences.
*) I want to alter my state of mind and perception so that I may better intake and formulate my experience of the world
*) I want to grow closer to others so that I might better understand what the experiences of life have ad continue to be like for others
*) I feel that the most expressive and meaningful works come from the most simplistic of places and motivations
*) I do not believe art is a restrictive commodity. All are welcome to it. All participate in it. Every contribution shapes the environment in which the next shall be conceived.
*) Artists are human being first and gods never.
*) To stop a person for only a moment, to engage a thought for a fraction of a second, to engender an emotion for only an instance, is the purest and truest accomplishment of artistic expression.
*) Rules are indeed made to be broken. Without night there can not be an appreciations of day and without opposition there would be no appreciation for the structure of power. Each thing defines and supports the other. There is something to be desired in following a prescribed course, but there is something even more valuable in understanding that prescription of action to such a degree that you can break free of it's singularity to find an alternate path that still allows for the same harmonious existence as before.
*) Fear is a sign of accomplishment to come. We don't fear what we already know. We don't fear what's comfortable. We don't fear what's conquered. We fear the new, the uncertain, the untamed, the unpredictable. We fear newness, we fear a lack of control, we fear potential failure, but these things are all signs of challenges to be overcome and surpassed. There is nothing in the expressive, emotive and preceptive realms of art that will kill you and for certain what doesn't kill you here will only make you stronger.

those all sound perfectly reasonable, many things that a lot of us know, but need to be reminded of once in a while.

i stand in awe of your articulate and deep contemplations of the realm of art. i find your words intriguing, inspiring, and provoking of deep thought. i stood pondering your words thoroughly for a time after reading each of them, and i must say i feel more enlightened for having read them.
