Manifesto
Toomanyartists is an ever expanding group of artists acting as one collective consciousness. We were born out of an attempt to downsize an increasingly overpopulated art world by collating numerous individuals into one super-artists. Our individual skills and knowledge are utilized by the group as a whole. We believe that the identities of our individual components are of little importance and as such they remain anonymous. We are a generic manifestation of an Orwellian figure. We are toomanyartist. We are more interested in the creation of experiences than the objectification of artwork, as such we consider the tangible artwork that we produce to function as catalyst for (or be a relic from) social engagement. We want you to interact with the work and each other. We wish to blur the boundaries between spectator and participant. We want to take you to new places, aesthetically, conceptually and physically. We use interventionist devises to hijack culture. We believe that everyone should enjoy the fruits of human culture and we wish to rebuild the art-world from within. We promote play in art and life and regard our practice to be primarily explorative. We believe that the creation of art work is sometimes more important than its consumption. We are not afraid of contradicting ourselves and this manifesto is subject to change.
