the dope stone manifesto:


krishnamurti maintains that truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. in oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

it is said that time is the fire in which be burn, and as such we are to believe that traversing the fourth dimension should be done with an intense clarity of mind, unmatched focus, and a terrifying calibration with the real.

we stand for honesty but we're only human so we wonder what to do with ourselves, to be true to ourselves and to be true to you. we are tempted to delude and deceive to protect our perceived sanctities, and it is a universal struggle.

art has until now been traditionally exclusive, we aim to make art universally inclusive. it is our belief that every human being possesses the skills necessary to convey truth and the infinite nature of his or her being.

art does not lie, because at the core of every one of us there is the knowledge that's been intrinsic since the birth of time. we guardedly anticipate and accept the imminent collapse of unsustainable western ideals and seek to expand on the human experience. we view death as an opportunity for new life.

we strive for these ideals and welcome all persons, regardless of their biases or beliefs, to create with us and to grow together as "the dope stone."
