In the second installation in the Motion series, Harbour conducts an immersive, educational and lab-based workshop focused on reimagining historical art manifestos in search for accuracy. By way of research and implementation (The Cues), the team spent the two hours creating an updated Manifesto for contemporary artist across all mediums to consider. Through the approach of the artist transitioning from both a participant and a witness, this installation bridges personal conflict with the collective experience of the audience.
