HAMPARTE Manifesto

‘HAMPARTE’ MANIFEST
1.- If one or several objects manufactured in series and that are also for sale in the common market are presented as a work of art, it is Hamparte.
2.- If the work is simply in the choice of an object (objet trouvé, found art or ready-made) that is magically converted into a work of art by the fact of placing it in an exhibition space, anyone is Hamparte.
3.- If it is not necessary to have the talent to carry out to work like the one shown, if it is full of common places and hackneyed ideas, it is Hamparte.
4.- If the only value that the work has been fundamentally supported by a conscientious theoretical / philosophical / political text that does not find its real reflection in the work, it is Hamparte.
5.- The fantastic and magical attribution of nonexistent values to objects that are commercialized in the art market with exorbitant prices is Hamparte.
6.- An artist never earns the right to be an artist. I have to prove it continuously. Although I have done a great work of art, it does not mean that everything he does is art. I have been able to do Hamparte consciously or unconsciously. If he does it unconsciously, he will be a pure ham-partisan. If you do it in a conscious way to evidence and denounce what is happening in the market and in the art world, or for the simple pleasure of doing so; He is a realistic ham-partist. But all the works that are created under these terms will be Hamparte.
7.- In short, the art of not having talent is Hamparte.
