Kick off - Precedents

The workshop started with individual research on precedents in art and architecture, using a common shared indesign template to fill in informations concerning authors, actors, title, date, location and most important the manifesto, as many of the precedents will have self-proclaimed manifestos that describe what their work is about and what their key intentions and ambitions are. A manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions. It states in forthright, strong and unambiguous language a vision for the future and for future actions. Usually a manifesto is political in tone or else states some ethical stance, or suggests a new modes of living and acting in a world. We are also very interested in the Techniques and Tools. What is the approach or methodology of the actor/s? How do they undertake their action? What tools, materials, and settings do they use?  Finally a summary what the actual Outcome is. What happens as a result of the action? here some precedents:

fluxus / hanna hoech / banksy / la monte young / olafur eliasson / raumlabor / stalker / john cage / joseph beuys / stelarc / asger jorn / cow parade / nam_june_paik
