Physicalists Distribute Manifesto at Armory Show

On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (3/11 – 3/13) the Armory Show: the International Fair of New Art, was visited by the Physicalists – a group of artists who are challenging what has become the “norm” in contemporary art – art that is “deep,” angst ridden and visually uninteresting.

The Physicalists passed out over 300 balloons printed with the tenets of Physicalism (“refuse to bullshit”, “delight in creation”, “question art dogma”, “invent visual ideas”, and “emphasize beauty.”) Along with the balloons, they passed out over 400 copies of the Physicalist manifesto – see attached.

People were delighted. They exited the crowded Armory show and were greeted by sunny skies and smiling Physicalists in white jumpsuits.

The Armory show was the Physicalist’s second installation (the first was at Miami Art Basel and involved eggs). The Physicalists have installations already planned for Los Angeles and Berlin later this year.
