MANIFESTO captures the vibrancy and immediacy of manifesti, from Futurism in 1909 to 1960s Fluxus via Lettrism.
Vocalist Loré Lixenberg, laptop artist Federico Reuben and Aleks Kolkowski on wax cylinders and horns bring the texts alive musically, highlighting their ground-breaking and sometimes shocking nature. A pop-up exhibition of rarely seen and exciting artefacts including manifesto tracts, original scores, sound poems and photographs as well as rare early records, by the manifesto authors, features alongside the performance.

Maurice Lemaître, né à Paris
le 23 avril 1926, est un artiste, écrivain et poète français. Il est l'une des figures du lettrisme des années 1950 à aujourd'hui. Maurice Lemaître, prépare l'École des Arts et Métiers et celle des Travaux publics. Après avoir participé à la Libération de Paris, il commence en Sorbonne une licence de philosophie.
Entré en 1948 au mouvement libertaire, il y débute une carrière de journaliste en écrivant dans le journal de ce mouvement. En 1949, il y rencontre Isidore Isou et est séduit par les idées politiques et la fougue créatrice de celui ci.
En 1950, il se joint au groupe d'avant-garde lettriste, où il crée, la même année une revue politique : le « Front de la Jeunesse », ainsi qu'une revue littéraire et picturale, « Ur », qui reste comme « Le Minotaure » du lettrisme. Depuis cette date, Maurice Lemaître n'a cessé d'agir et de créer dans divers domaines explorés par le mouvement lettriste : la poésie, le théâtre, la danse, le roman, la peinture, la photographie, le cinéma, l'économie, la psychopathologie et la psychothérapie.
Les apports de Maurice Lemaître dans les arts plastiques, en poésie et dans le roman sont si incontournables qu'il est cité dans les études modernes sur la littérature contemporaine (Centre Pompidou, Hachette, Seghers, ...

Broutin New Yorkers show their (astonishment) disapproval: themes: polemic: expression (of astonishment) of disapproval (creative)
creative (living sculpture) 2014, India ink on Canson paper 32 x 24 cm.
 
New York, February 23, 2014. New Yorkers organized a protest march in the streets of SoHo. The demonstrators came from every borough to express their astonishment, indeed for the most engaged their disapproval, of the title and content of the show Art by Delegation organized in Brussels.
 
John Smith, a member of the American branch of the Committee for Creative Vigilance: I don't understand why the show is called Art by Delegation. Since it is supertemporal art with the participation of the viewers, based on an idea of Isidore Isou, the creator of Letterism, the show could have simply been called Concerning the Supertemporal.”
 
Ann Pandergast is among the most determined demonstrators: We call on all art lovers to write their creative slogans on the supertemporal banner.”
 
James Trawisky participated in the demonstration, but expresses reservations about the radicalness of some of the entries: After all, this show can be considered an advance that takes into account the realities of public awareness and the state of the market. If it is a further step toward the propagation and recognition of this avant-garde movement, then why not?
