Guerrilla Girls ‘The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist’, 1988

A group of unidentified female artists from America go by the name Guerrilla Girls, who aim to uncover the under-representation that women face in the art world by targeting and addressing art dealers and galleries. Their manifesto is presented in the same way as the rest of their artwork, designed into slogan signs. This poster is part of 30 others that were released by the group in a portfolio named “Guerrilla Girls Talk Back.”

The Stuckists, 1999

This manifesto was formed in 1999 by a group called ’The Stuckists’, who claimed to be “Against conceptualism, hedonism and the cult of the ego-artist.” This belief/act was established to encourage and support figurative painting as an opinion in relation to the growth of conceptual art. The Stuckists also successfully manage to hold a demonstration every year in London outside Tate Britain during the time a winner of the Turner Prize is declared.
