Documentation of MANIFESTO!, an evening of readings of manifestos that was organized by PILOT at Bard College on April 13, 2009. The other two programs were pushed back to facilitate it, and the revised dates can be seen below.

Some 21st century strategies for the manifesto, including an interview with the artist Liam Gillick about his Berlin Statement made at the Hamburger Bahnhof on February 12th 2009; a chat with scholar McKenzie Wark author of A Hacker Manifesto; and a meeting with David Reinfurt of O-R-G and Dexter Sinister that, among other things, parses some emerging language in contemporary art production.

PILOT begins with the manifesto, a political and aesthetic form that helped define the 20th century, and asks where is this ‘manifesto’ now? Can it be said to have dissolved into a ‘distributed attitude’? And, if it can, how might this attitude present itself as the art world slides into recession towards the end of the first decade of the 21st Century?
PILOT is a project by Bartholomew Ryan, taken in completion of an MA thesis at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College. It streams live from WXBC Bard College Radio, a free-form student radio station in Upstate New York.
