20th Feb 1909 : 1st Futurist Manifesto
19th & 20th Feb 2009 : 1st Slow Future Art Manifestation, and first public presentation of The Slow Future Manifesto http://pierremansire.web-log.nl/
Invitation and Introduction to a Slow Future (II) :
The times are changing. Art, Culture and Society too. Slow Future is celebrating in 2009 the End of the Fetishism of Speed and of the Futurist inheritance by a series of artistic and cultural manifestations, interventions, critical publications, manifestos and proclamations, with as climax the 19th and 20th of February where we shall make official the since so long expected birth of the New Time, the New Culture and the New Art, the Art of the Slow Future.
On these dates shall be presented to the audience an alter-contemporary or alter-futurist manifesto, the Slow Future Manifesto, within two evenings featuring international artists rooted in Slow Future, working all autonomously and expressing their diversity in all possible ways. Some have an eye for organic development perhaps, or the unfolding of a sound into music, others to the the fluid outcroppings of explosive energy or the call and response within one body and its living relationship to the surrounding architecture*, or the diverting of the abundance of tools and materials shaped originally for mass-consumption purposes only. But they all share this characteristic of having give to their creation process the necessary time to contemplation and meditation, or give themselves the space to spontaneous interventions, instead of following the despairing routine of dead-lines, forced repetitive processes of production and alienating communications and presentations strategies typical of mass-arts culture. These artists and their art are representatives of a strong current,mostly hidden underneath supposed to be mainstream culture. The current reaching out towards our Slow Future.
Curators: Pierre Mansire, independent artist & Marije Nie (Auxxx)
