Belfast Non Objectivist Society manifesto 1968

Art can no longer shock or disturb – its identity has changed. It is now a fallacy to say that art is art, therefore we have changed its name and will now call it “ART”, having no better name to hand.

Should you be indecisive, act in the following manner: dig a hole about four feet deep (depending on your height). This hole may be dug anywhere. Now stand perfectly upright in your hole, and consider why you have dug it. Fill it in. if you have not reasoned why you have dug this hole, dig another.
