536 TRAITS OF THE PERFECT MANIFESTO (1-19) BY DONATO MANCINI & JEREMY TURNER. 1. “What is done to be idiotic can soon become the idiotic standard.” 2. Highlight the work's most obvious features. 3. If it seems like we're making fun of art, it's because we've got a crush on it. 4. When the manifesto sits next to you she automatically puts her arm around you or holds your hand. 5. “How did you think of this?” “How did you not?” 6. The way she shows up when you need her most, like after a stressful math test so she can walk you to class or even just to lunch. 7. You always need something to ignore. 8. You can tell when she's asking for something, because she looks at you with her big puppy-dog eyes. 9. A non-philosophical contemplative is someone who likes to stare at things. 10. The way she blows you kisses from across the room. 11. The sign above his office door says: this is where everything happens. 12. At lunch, you don't have to sit together, but if you do, everyone can tell you're together by the way you look at each other. 13. You cry and cry for Art, but she won't even glance at you. Then one day, out of the Prussian blue, you find yourself going home with Art from a U.B.C.FA. fundraiser. 14. The way a chocolate kiss can show up in your locker with a note like, “A brown dropping for my sweetie.” 15. The next time I find a lost wallet I'll keep the cash and mail the rest back to the owner. 16. The way your friends rave about how lucky you are to have her and you reply by simply smiling. 17. Make sure nothing anyone can say about you is true. 18. Hyper-literalism: a literalism so intense it splits into shiny, pun-like fragments. 19. I come across an envelope of treasures from the North American Hunting Club, addressed to an unknown, and, ripping it open, I ask myself why, in plain language, in a world still dominated by Dada, why make art when you are art, why not just identify art, hunt art then capture art?
