Sorry. I got excited and clicked enter too fast.
I'll try to agree with Justine, without copying her! I thought the most interesting thing about the manifesto had to be the similrities he made between art and death. The way that people visited museums the same way they visited gravesites on All Soul's Day. And the notion that looking back never moved us forward, and that if we kept looking back and never forward, we wouldn't make it. He uses such powerful imagery, "except the laborious contortions of an artist throwing himself
against the barriers that thwart his desire to express his dream completely.." I mean, that really does it for me. I thought his radicality was what made the essay. I didn't agree with any of it, but it wasn't all made up. It made sense, but I just didn't agree with it at all.
This is.. what I got out of the essay.
