DAVID SHRIGLEY
WEAK MESSAGES CREATE BAD SITUATIONS
A Manifesto
Canongate (September 15, 2015)
Lots of individuals in society today are feeble-minded. They don't know what the HELL is going on. Unfortunately many of these people are responsible for running THE COUNTRY. Their ideas are MEANINGLESS, illustrated using RUBBISH imagery (often made by a computer). The stupid words they write are always in BAD FONTS. Yet still people HEED this nonsense. Maybe YOU are one of these people? It's alright. I am here to HELP you. I have a FULLY-COMPOSED WORLD VIEW. I have STRONG opinions about EVERYTHING. And my ideas are HAND-ILLUSTRATED and use REAL HANDWRITING that you can trust. I know exactly what's going on and am WILLING to share my thoughts with you. If you LISTEN to what I say then things will quickly improve.
David Shrigley has been exhibited at the Tate Modern in London, at the MoMA in New York, and in Paris, Berlin, Melbourne, and beyond. He has published more than 20 books, including Ants Have Sex in Your Beer, How Are You Feeling?, and What the Hell Are You Doing? and has animated a music video for Blur and produced another for Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
