This is the Idea Museum manifesto in which we bring the form of our revolutionary museum’s
philosophy to the public.
Our museum has no walls. Our museum has no address. Our museum is everywhere and even when
You read this manifesto you are in our museum. Our museum is in your mind, it’s imaginary. The Idea
Museum shows ideas, ideas are what we exhibit and ideas are everywhere around you and even You
and your Ideas are a piece of exhibition in our museum.
Why our Idea Museum is so revolutionary? An ordinary museum shows works, works of genius
people, works of brilliant minds works which people take for granted nowadays, that are “normal”
now, because we all know them. But did anyone think that before these works were made there was
an IDEA? People take masterpieces for granted, like regular objects, like everyday use objects. We
want to remind the people that there is an idea for each work, that it’s not a common object.
The Dada depicted subjects that reflected the rapidly changing conditions of modern life. Today life is
rapid and good ideas have short life. We want to show them, we want to remind people of them. We
will use a language of communication that forces the public to think, think and create ideas, and to
understand that a master piece is a product of mind, and it’s a product of a human mind.
“DADA alone does not smell: it is nothing, nothing, nothing,
It is like your hopes: nothing.
Like your paradise: nothing.
Like your idols: nothing.
Like your politicians nothing: nothing.
Like your heroes: nothing.
Like your artists: nothing
Like your religions: nothing.”
Ideas don’t have shape you cannot touch an idea but without ideas there will be nothing. For some
the existence of works of art is obvious, for some act of producing a work of art is easy. It is not. The
Idea Museum puts emphasis on the very best ideas of artists of all kind and time and depicts them.
Our museum appreciates the intellectual value of brilliant ideas and draws the public attention to it.
To do this we will use all the language of art given: painting, film, design, installation and create
intellectual games, because good artists play with the reality. The games will depict the famous
works of art and ideas of artists. The public getting involved with the games will be reminded of how
complex and difficult a process of transferring good ideas into life is, the public will have it’s own
ideas and somehow feel the thoughts of the best creators. We will transform the masterpieces into
games because playing games gives a beginning to good ideas. Playing games is an intellectual
process and this is the value our museum wants to present.

Ideas doesn’t exist.
You can’t touch an idea.
It’s a plan on purpose of action, intention, design. Something, such as a thought or conception, that potentially or actually exists in the mind as a product of mental activity.
Ideas are everywhere because everywhere, there are people thinking.
We want to try to make people think in a space, it will be the idea museum
We have made games in order to let people think about something through the game.
We will exhibit goods ideas of artists by using games with questions about artist, so people will think about those artists.
we use games and ask questions about artists works to make people think again about how good ideas did those artists have.

The game will be bulbs on cardboard with questions about ideas of artists on it, like for example :
«who created the ready made?» (Marcel Duchamps)
«wich artist has started kubism?» (Picasso)
«which designer made the lemon squeezer in 1990?» (Philippe starck)
«wich famous painter used primary colors and geometry in his canvas?» (Mondrian)

We use the light bulb because it’s a representation of an idea in comics.
When you think about a representation of an idea, the bulb is the first thing that you see. And we will hang the bulb on cardboard with quotation on it because when people will walk under the bulb, it will represent a character in comics.

with have also flyers (10X15cm postcard A6) we will put some ideas and quotations of artists like for example: «Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you have only one idea» [Alain Propos sur la religion], and also images of the works of the artists.
Maybe to make a link between the bulbs and the flyers. We will have the questions on the bulbs and maybe the answer on the flyers.

We will show the bellas artes as a factory of ideas with ideas zone.We will put sheet of paper behind the classes of :
Sculpture
Communication design
Design equipment
Painting
like in a museum.

The idea museum doesn't exist, it's just space where people think,
we will try to make people have thought with brains games and change the school in factory of ideas.

The logo game is a piece of metal and you can play with the logo of the idea museum.

The flyers will be on an A6 (10X15cm postcard)
We will write some quotations about ideas on it:

"Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you have only one idea" [Alain Propos sur la religion]
"A stand can be made against invasion by an army; no stand can be made against invasion by an idea" [Victor Hugo Histoire d'une Crime]
"It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life" [Randall Jarrell Pictures from an Institution]
"Right now it's only a notion, but I think I can get the money to make it into a concept, and later turn it into an idea" [Woody Allen Annie Hall]

And we will rolled up it and put it on the floor.
