Dada Notes

Dada, Surealism, and After

dada-began in WWI: protest war, society, old social order  (Contributions: -appropriation -assemblage, construction -conceptual art/more moved action -chance/let things happen)

Merz painting - using anything
Fled Germany breaks down language as a sound was to reflect craziness that led to WWI

1916, Cabaret Voltaire{filling time by making nonsense} in Zurich, Switzerland

spread out, Berlin 1919. These Dadas watched HItler, became very political
Paris. More Surrealism. More interested in the art than the politics

Dadas wanted to sweep away old culture

"reactions can be xD or >:/ or >xD"  <----dada reaction as explained in my notes
---
Conceptual Art  not much to look at, but alot to think about
