"Keep moving forward!" Judith Bernstein's manifesto for GARAGE offers some sage advice on art and life.

"If you can't do either, stay home." In his pithy contribution to GARAGE's series of original artists' manifestos, painter David Salle hands down some wisdom on vision, honesty, and the art of the party.
