- Escapees from WW1
- Fled to Cabaret
- Art, Poetry, Performances, Music
- Eventually evolved into Dada & the 'Anti-Art' movement
Height of New York Dada was in 1915
Marcel Duchamp - 1913 - 'Readymades'
Dada Collage & Text
- Controlled Mess
- Newspapers, Posters & other 'readymade' works
- The text became part of the composition rather than just information
- A lot of chance involved
- A lot of Satire involved
Duchamp did something similar where instead of just adding images he defaced images, example: lhooq
- If lhooq is said fast with a french accent it sounds similar to the slang name for 'She has a hot ass'
- Was shown as a postcard featured below
Exquisite Corpse
- Fold Paper & each person writes a line or draws a body part (depending on version of game) to make a sentence or animal
Can be done with drawings or words
Dada rebelling against the bourgeois
Bourgeois - French for middle-class
Rrose Sélavy
- One of Marcel Duchamp's alter egos
- Aimed to break the ownership of Art being more important than the art itself
Baroness of Dada - Elsa von Fraytag-Loringhoven
- Living work of Art
- Wore her artwork
- Came up with the idea of 'Fountain' by Marcel Duchamp
- Started her work as a model & then started to make artwork out of 'readymades' & wore them around
- Also wrote poems
- She lived and breathed Dada
