Toolbox

I finally have my found object! After much deliberation and angst, I finally settled on this antique metal toolbox. I really like the look and feel of it, and the idea that it's sort of a "working man's object," not an object one would ever associate with fine arts (which of course the Dadaists would have completely rejected). My only concern is the size of it (about 18 inches long and maybe 7 inches high) and being able to fit the (very) long manifesto onto it, but I think I have a solution for that as well. I'm going to take the second-to-last section of the manifesto and print individual sentences or thoughts from it onto heavy paper cards, incorporating some Dada-esque clip art collages onto these cards, with the idea that such cards would be kept in the box and distributed to the public in order to spread the ideas of the movement. The final, emphatic section of the manifesto will go on the inside bottom panel of the box, so once the reader has removed and read each card, their reading will continue back onto the toolbox. It all makes sense in my head, at this point... now comes the hard part of making it all happen!

(Also, sorry about the horrible and blurry picture quality... I want a new camera so bad...)
