Jordan Warwick – Task 8: Appropriation

When tasked to appropriate an image, I decided to comply the research I am doing for the Manifesto project and use it for this task. I am looking at the proposals of an artist called Peter Liversidge, he is known for creating hundreds upon hundreds of proposals for his artworks; in fact he has created so many that you can buy books full of them… and I decided to appropriate one.

The idea behind a manifesto or a proposal is that you are announcing to whoever will read it, what you intend to do and what you believe in. There are political manifestos, dating back to the early 1900s where socialism and change really started to set in in many countries across the world, but there are also art manifestos, and the more contemporary ones have been created in a very satirical manner in which inspired me to create something a little bizarre.
