Brilliant, just brilliant! There aren't enoguh words to describe the joy of watching this content! This evening I read the First Surrealist Manifesto (1924), never had I ever focused on this artistisc movement (and its various branches) and I was quite pleased with the reading. I believe that the approach given to art, and even our social, economic and political connundrum by these movements serves both as a parody and a complaint on how we are running things.
I'd really love to watch a video on any of the artist mentione on the video.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers!
Thank you 🙏🏻 music to our ears! We are happy that we inspired you to check out the Breton’s Manifesto , it is a thought-provoking read indeed. Btw, Have you ever checked the Futurists Manifesto? Interesting read too, quite provocative though. Would be great to hear your thoughts on that one.
@@CuriousMuse Well... actually it was the futurist Manifesto that led me to the Surrealist manifesto. I really enjoy it's briefness and passion, it's like having a shot of tequila. It goes down really fast and you feel it in your whole body. I can't say that I agree with the whole "erase the past, move forward to the future" thing, but I do really enjoy the study of movement and shape that Futurist do (Dynamism of a dog on a leash by Giacomo Balla is my favourite). The problem with Futurism is that once you pass the anger, there's little left. On the other hand, Bretón's first manifesto is like a trip to Paris... you get to look at new things, old things, weird things, there's a bit of sadness but in a "self-improvement" way. It really awed me, I didn't expect to like it, but I really did.
I haven't written anything on your futurism video because i had no time, but I intend to do so as soon as possible, I think it's important to uses social media's tools to make our favorite channels even greater! So expect to hear from me soon enough ;P
Cheers!
@@wsralphie We cannot set aside that Breton was a bit of a show off. Naming all those artist 'la voix surrealiste' or in translation: the surrealistic voices. The manifesto is amazing and it keeps surprising me how smitten he is by his own believes. I was so fascinated by the way he puts himself between his patients. I mean he even said: 'They are men of scrupulous honesty and whose innocence is matched only by mine'. The way his views are amazing and revolutionairy but at the same time a bit 'cocky' makes it easy to read.
@@femke9597 well put! Cuarrently I'm reading the "Manifesto for an Independent Revolutionary Art", Breton gets as cocky as Trotki's presence permits 😜
the inventors and artists of DADA, from 1910-25 (that was how long it lasted) will SHIT on this kind of pathetic institutional way of seeing.
Draw a mustachio on your own face for all it matter. Dull or plain inconsequential, folks are mimicking DADA 100 years later. The Post Modern Duh Da !!
Dadaism walked so surrealism could run.
so then pop art could fly 😗👐🏻
Dadaism walked so surrealism could run, so Shitposting cursed memes could wobble on the floor in its own piss to the sound of audio clipping bass noises.
This isn’t a criticism btw.
@@TheSurrealist. Modern memes are the dadaism to dadaism.
and shitpost to fly

Ironically, dadaists declared art as senseless, but since everything the artist declares as art, is considered to be art, it is actually the artist himself who declares art as senseless. The conclusion was meant to be that art is neither in the process nor subject to the piece of art itself, but rather gains meaning by the artist's declaration and interpretation - whereas "meaning" was a very far stretch of a word to begin with. As if the old question "what is art" led to frustration, and so everything could possibly be art, taking it the halo of craftmanship, talent and the extraordinary. Consequently, this would have rendered art as pointless, because you need not create what is already there, just waiting for a label. It's the irony that the process of creating, creativity, dedication and skill was reduced to the act of declaring something as art. In short: they went with dadaism so far over the top they didn't realise the whole idea about dadaism was basically bullshit ;-)
Many people would ask Bob Dylan what his songs mean. Sometimes he would say "Nothing!" in an impolite tone. Actually, he was just annoyed that he was asked that question so many times. That is, "They mean different things to different people at different times." He couldn't very well say "Everything!" for obvious reasons, although that concept is closer to the truth than "Nothing!" Mr Tambourine Man is a perfect example, IMHO, of dadaism in a Dylan song.
@@klausrain111 I could err on this, but isn't Mr. Tambourine man about getting drugs from your dealer or something like this? As I said, I migh be wrong, but I am almost certain it is something like that, according to Mr. Dylan.
Wow thank you so much for expressing so much to the point ❤️❤️ so intelligently put. I truly congratulate you.
Im Swiss and reading Friedrich Glauser at the moment (erzählerisches Werk) he was witnessing his friends creating Dadaism but quit the bunch after 4 month. What you are saying can be proven. The one who came up with the whole idea he calls an imposter that decided one day to make himself important by creating a new understanding of art. He was neither an artist not even an intellectual (speaking of Tzara). Glauser also writes that at one point a known artist sitting in the cabaret said " to describe this piece one should spell "da capo" ( play it from the beginning) by doubling the syllables ( Dada caca popo, which means Dada is shit from the ass). I see we both agree😂
@@gigimora366 Danke - freut mich, mit der Meinung nicht alleine zu sein :) Und sehr coole Anekdote zu Glauser - die kannte ich nicht! Yes, we both agree.
@@shaihulud4515 freut mich auch🌞🙏
I find it curious that a century later, millennials and zoomers unconsciously inherited the art form, now practiced as (internet) Memes in image and short video clips. In addition, the idea of Dada poems, nonsensical composition of words, are parallel to famous person quotes that has been practiced widely across comments sections, as it emphasizes important babble, like the famous Sun Tzu:
"Thick thighs save lives, but thigh-highs will be my demise."
-Sun Tzu, Art of War
or another example:
"Quantum Physics are for nerds. I'd rather smoke weed."
- Nikola Tesla
Although it differs in many ways, Dadaism and Memes have a lot in common especially in virtual platform, celebrated in its excellence. Lounges in turn has been replaced by group chats or discord servers and is still tackling current events, as a way to immerse another way of communication, with meaning or meaningn't.
P good vid btw! Hope to see more. :>
History repeats 😅. Whether memes culture will be considered an art movement or not, we don’t know - but it’s clear it does have some qualities of Dadaism, as it can be absurd and nonsensical
Excellent interpretation! I would agree that in a great many ways the shitposts of today are neo-dadaist, often with antifascist or otherwise leftist underpinnings.
So true wrote something similar in german to another docu. its the same spirit, probably prepared to run free by dadaism. That's what the crowd really chooses and is, but at least before dadaism it was inappropriate to show you are part of that crowd
I find myself thinking about Duchamp's urinal from a different angle than I've heard anyone discuss before. I find the most pressing question within myself isn't "is this art?" but rather, "Who can claim credit for this art?" because if you look at the urinal itself (which is apparently "not the important part?" even though its the entire content of the artwork) you must consider that SOMEBODY DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED AND PRODUCED THIS PIECE which is undoubtably skilled labor, one might even call it artistic in the way the porcelain was designed and shaped. So to me, this brings up the issue of class and how we often take for granted the skilled, even creative, labor required to produce media and materials which "artists" with some bullshit "vision" can then take all the credit for by slapping their name on it or manipulating it very slightly with little effort. I'm not saying Duchamp has no claim to this art or dismissing its historical significance. I just find it fascinating how the menial labor required for this art piece to even have been made in the first place is ALWAYS overlooked. I think the question of "what is art" is far too obscured beneath a discussion of class and what distinguishes "artisans" vs "fine art" etc. I have even more complex feelings after having studied fine arts at a university level. It has opened my eyes to some of the ways art is gatekept and held above the heads of the common people as something they can't afford to enjoy, despite their handiwork and labor contributing to the foundation of the wealthy upperclass ability to make and enjoy "fine art" at their leisure. I know this video explained how dada was anti establishment blah blah blah.... but I just dont think the urinal piece was good enough. nice idea, but I wish it included some meaning about the skilled and undervalued laborers involved in the making of the actual porcelain structure itself.
Edit: I am not studying visual art and I don't know much about this topic. I might not be adding anything new at all but it's just what bothers me the most about this piece. It might have even been part of Duchamp's artistic vision in the first place. But I've never heard anyone raise this point which made me wonder if it tends to get overlooked or if people just dont value tradespeople at all.
Wow, what a great comment! Thank you so much for sharing your opinion and contributing to this discussion on what can be considered as art!
Spot on Ms. Grace! 101% with you on your point! Perfectly worded!
Ive always thought of art in the same way as you do! I was surprised to find out that most people don't think like that.
Susannah Grace: I guess art is a bit like politics, there often appears to be room for debate.
Wow! That is an amazing point. I always tell people that nothing around us was created without artists and go through this huge explanation that, at least at some point, artistic skills or vision is needed to create EVERYTHING we have created as humans. And even with that chip on my shoulder, I still had not thought of this perspective with the urinal piece. Great perspective!
This channel deserves far more than 6k subs, you're editing in videos is better than most news channels like Vice and Vox
Thank you, Josh! These guys do set a high bar but we’re so happy to hear you like our videos! 🙌🏻
Very good introduction to the topic and as a stimulus to one of the best comments sections on an art topic on YT. Also the creators' taking the trouble to participate is much appreciated.
This video was super nice to watch and very clear and fascinating. Thanks for explaining in a really nice way. I love how you aren't condescending or pretentious in any way, like some artists can be. Thanks a thousand!
Wonderful feedback, thank you and happy holidays 🙏🏻
First heard of Dada as I moved to Frankfurt and attended a jazz „concert“ with a friend. We thought it was just music but it was more poetry(?) than music and we both didn‘t know German that well 😅 was interesting but I became so interested thanks to that concert.
There was also a Dada group in Melbourne, Australia in the 1950's. Barry Humphries, internationally known for his alter-ego Dame Edna Everage was the best known of the people involved in Dadaist activities around the city.
barry humphries is a world film legend
Barry Humphries was a big fan of David Hockney. I don don’t think he had anything to do with Dadaism
One of my favorite art movements.
It’s a great one indeed, love it too 👍🏻
@@CuriousMuse especially when you understand the history and the times it was created.
Agree 🙏🏻
I think youtube can read my mind. I was thinking about the word dadaism in my head in the bathroom yesterday at work and this morning this vid pops up on my youtube page.
Haha, we have nothing to do with that! 😅
I'm doing a presentation on Dada Art for my 2D Design class and your video absolutely helped me understand Dadaism well! very intriguing
Good luck with your 2D Design class! 🤞🏻

What a peculiar art movement!
Da da 😁

Chocolate in mouth, unsteady walk.
Can everything be art? Sure. SHOULD everything be art? No. I just finished a Master's program in studio art, and Duchamp could be a drinking game... as many times as I read him referenced in the stack of articles and books I had to read. Honestly, he played a joke on the art world and they bought it and called him a genius. And now you can buy the certified rights to tape a banana to a wall as an art object for $200k.
Thanks for sharing! I actually agree with you 🙈 Tanya from Curious Muse
The art is in the antics
I agree. It is not the artist who turns a urinal into the art. It is the audience, the viewer, the listener who turn something into a work of art by accepting it as such and especially so by paying money for it and thus assigning a value to it. If the audiences do not show up to view and admire the urinal in the museum - it is not art. It belongs to the museum's restroom right next to the exact copies of it that are not considered art and are used as urinals. As you said, Duchamp played a joke on the art world, and the art world played a joke on the audiences by encouraging them to pay money for the bananas on the wall. I would not spend my time or money to see it.
These days all those ugly excuses for contemporary abstract “works of art” that cost A LOT is just a laundering scheme. No one’s wants to steal a hideous waste of materials (so called art work) so the insurance cost is low for the art collector. Both artist and art collector is laughing all he way to the bank (and offshore accounts).
@@PurpleGold. For real, all high end art is basically just a financial tool for the ultra rich to store and transfer wealth without having to pay taxes. This includes Picasso, Rodin, Modigliani, etc.
People can dump all the want on contemporary art, but it's really just an old school cryptocurrency system.
I Learn Dada from a Game..and I thought if it is real..And Then here I am making My research..
I love Dada Compositions, And Its influence I am Very much Inlove with Surrealism and Impressionism along with Pop art.
Thank you this is Informational💌
A good Dada game I love is ‘Tales from Off-peak city’
The incredible bass player Mononeon was inspired by Dadaism and stated it’s philosophy as being the reason he puts a sock on his bass. He’s the reason I’m watching this video having never heard of the concept before.
Good it brought you here - hope we explained the concept well
much appreciation for the effort you put into your videos 💕
So nice to hear, thank you 🙏🏻. Comments like this is what motivates us going 💪🏻
I am fascinated by art history, especially more abstract genres so this was a very interesting video, though, in my opinion, dadaism feels a bit like a bunch of artists having a mental breakdown together lol /j
Lol, sometimes it may seem so! 😅 thanks for watching this video!
I love how you put on a twit what the artist said lol
thanks, this is helping me get through my art research :)
Fantastic - good luck with the research!🤞🏻
Interesting format , compact and to the point. I have a suggestion ,could you talk about the Dutch Droog design? Greetings 🙏
Great idea , thank you! 🙏🏻
Very helpful. It was because of David Bryne’s music that i wanted to know more. BTW, his music is amazing and a joy!
Byrne - darn fingers gave minds of their own 👍👈✌️🖖🤏😆
😀
I got told in a tour in Zurich where all the artworks were exhibitet that the urinal from the right angle looks like Mona Lisa. The shape does really remind to it.
Haha, quite unexpected!
Thank you so much for such an informative video!
😍🙏🏻
WHEN WILL THE VIDEO ABOUT POST-MODERNISM ART COME OUT, AND CONCEPTUAL ART TOO, I LOVE THE VIDEO'S
We are working on them 🙏🏻
Some dada hangers on include Terry Gilliam and Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Fleischer Brothers and Betty Boop, Jackson Pollock's splatter works, Walt Disney's psychedelia of the 30's and 40's (Fantasia, Three Caballeros, etc.), Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, and Ron Mueck's freakish giant lifelike sculptures (though this kinds links with other styles.)
Terry gilliam 😎
For me art is all about the idea so i prefer the story behind than the artwork's presentation. Dada differs from all before and will be always respected for the future events in art ❤
I love your videos. Can you guy make a video about similarities and differences between Art Nouveau and Vienna Secession in graphic design, plsssssssss :) Or 2 videos about Art Noueau and Vienna Secession.
GREAT IDEA 😍☝🏻. We have Art Nouveau already in development! 💪🏻 #staytuned
Thank you for your concise explanations. Would you be so kind as to explain the art of Joseph Beuys, if you haven't already? Cheers, R
Im lucky to know english,because I really need to understand my current lesson at history,DaDa,so thank you for this amazing video its very usefull.
Still learning to speak english perfectly tho!
Your English is great! Glad to hear you found this video useful
Recently discovered your page and im so happy and in love with your contents! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Great short video on my favorite art movement! My only concern is discussing more women that were involved with the movement.
Your mentioning women having to be mentioned fits to your liking of this "art" "form" its neither art or form nore would it do good to our image to be mentioning too many female names ( feminist speaking)
@@gigimora366 And why is mentioning women in art history a bad thing?
@@StarvingPoet first of all there was only one woman (Hennings) involved creating it, then for the spreding Tzara and some other dudes were responsible. There were no women involved in pushing the movement further worth mentioning. If you want women to be mentioned for equality reasons better choose a topic where its worth it. Im totally happy that this terrible movement is not too much related to our sex!
@@gigimora366 There were other notable women they could have talked about, Loring-Hoven, Loy, and others. Just because they’re not as well known as some of the men, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be included in Dadas’ history.
Thank you for this information❤
You are so welcome!
I worked at a restaurant in Delray Beach, FL called Dada, named after this art movement.

@@CuriousMuse glad to be among fans .. Your channel is the very best thing after the now closed The Art Assignment | PBS Digital Studios! Congrats! :)
I have a question regarding The Fountain of 'Marcel Duchamp' actually being a piece from the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, what is your opinion on this?
In 1917 Duchamp wrote a letter to his sister saying "One of my female friends under a masculine pseudonym, Richard Mutt, sent in a porcelain urinal as a sculpture.", this was something that started the rumours about the authorship of the piece. But the letter doesn't say that someone else made the piece and that female friend could also be someone other than the Baroness. There isn't enough evidence to prove that the piece was made by somebody other than Duchamp. However, there's still a number of readymades created by the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven that you could enjoy like "God", "The Cathedral" or "Portrait of Marcel Duchamp".
Duchamp's piece is just a careless work of plagiarism. The actual work is held in the collection of the Barnes Foundation, who refuse to show it or allow reproductions. (This comment is a work of satire.)
😯
Thanks I have my answer in my art assignment.🥺
Most welcome 😊!

Thanks for watching! ☺️
True spontaneity, up for interpretation. This movement is all about coming up with your own meaning , very esoteric.
So true! 👍🏻
Very very interresting....love to hear it on english,but come the Dada not from russian language...exactly at that time 1916 in Zürich Lenin was creating the russian Revolution in caffe Odeon near Cabare Volter
I thought the fountain was considered a "conceptual art" piece rather than a dada piece, though I suppose there can be overlap in these things - that said, while I was quickly checking if it was considered conceptual art, I got this quote about it: "it severed forever the traditional link between the artist's labour and the merit of the work"
I personally consider that to be one of the very worst things to happen to the art world. I think the artist's labour, as well as level of skill, as aspects we should consider when judging whilst looking at a piece of art, but it feels these things are now thrown out. Just because everybody can be an artist, doesn't mean everything someone produces should be considered art, regardless of whether or not they wish it to be. Furthermore, there are now "artists" out there who essentially commission other people to make their art, but they get the glory because they came up with the idea - everybody has got ideas, it's the skill to act upon these ideas that makes the artists work (imagine a commissioner saying he was the artist for a painting - it's ridiculous. I don't see how it's different when it's not a painting).
So who came up with the cut up method of writing/art? Brian gyson/ William Burroughs, or Hugo ball?
So beautiful 😩💜
Which part? 😇
@@CuriousMuse the end
@@moamalothaib890 the end is always a new beginning :). Luckily, Dadaism gave a new life to another movement, Surrealism, which we have a great video about :)
@@CuriousMuse yeah👍🏻
Good video. I understand the concept of anything possibly being "art", but that's really a semantics debate and not the most productive. The desire to question status quos and therefore the desire to make subversive art is something that is natural for people. That being said, taken to its most extreme (in the case of dadaism), it really feels like a recipe for an unhealthy spread of nihilism.
I think art pieces that "aren't even supposed to be good" hanging up in museums as space that could be occupied by art that is made by somebody who genuinely tried to make something great and convey emotion. If it was a short lived joke or confined to obscure underground spaces then whatever, but a large amount of the time, it feels like the "dada mindset" has cemented itself in the minds of critics and art/music snobs who use abstractness and provocativeness as the unquestionable gold standard for what makes something "good". Obviously there's tons of variables in play, but I don't think we should be surprised with how many millennials and zoomers are nihilistic and lack a sense of purpose when "meaningless" or "ironic" art/media is held in such high regard.
Great thinking! Many times we don’t know the artist’s intention (in your words: trying to make something great or a short lived joke) and how can we really tell what “art that’s not supposed to be good and occupies museum space”? It’s really subjective and ultimately the viewer/audience is the judge. Some may like it, some may hate
you have an anime character as your profile, just saying.
@@mathewsenn3664 It's called real art.
You're making a solid point, but as Curious Muse states regarding art "It’s really subjective and ultimately the viewer/audience is the judge", just like the fuss between he Salón and the Impressionist painters. When I study and artistic movement I try to figure out the inspiration behinf it, mainly looking on the context around it. In the case of Dada you just have to take a look on the social and political atmosphere, Europe came out of nearly a century of failed revolutions, just to fall into the Great War. I can imagine the feeling of absurdity as the only sane option.
In my country we say "From those muds, this sludge", this can be proven really accurate when you think about the evolution of Dadaism (and its several branches) into our society. But how can we not legitimaze the seriousness of the absurd nowadays? Take a look around, maybe the only thing that makes sense is absurdity itself.
Cheers!
I would humbly suggest your viewers peruse the back catalogue of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band (Dada), or perhaps witness their majesty on old episodes of "Do Not Adjust Your Set". British television programming was so far ahead of the game in the 1960s, or maybe the British were just so silly in those days that Dada-ist humour was shown on children's hour and the adults all rushed home to see it. Greetings to "Legs" Larry Smith, Vernon -Dudley-Bohay-Milne, Roger Ruskin-Spear, Rodney Slater and Denis Cowan (if they are still with us) and erstwhile Bonzo members Eric Idle and Michael Palin plus cast members of David Jason (Captain Fantastic) and Denise Coffee (Mrs Black and her Horrible Handbag). A final hoorah for the genius who has contributed so much Mr Terry Gilliam. You made me stronger than the summer inside Albert Camus. Now I am going to try and find the clip of Vic Reeves reading Dada poetry. It's epic.
Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band were Dadaist?
@@butterflymoon6368 Until you have witnessed Vernon Dudley Bowhay Nowell playing the steel handsaw whilst wearing his chrome-plated WW1 German Infantry helmet or Roger-Ruskin-Spear and his Giant Kinetic Wardrobe performing "Noises For The Leg" it's a bit hard to describe. They are two of the funniest things that I have ever seen, the latter back live in the late seventies. I laughed so much I thought I was going to have a seizure. Incidentally Roger Ruskin-Spear later became a lecturer in 3D design at the Chelsea College of Art. Yes they're definitely Dada. The Bonzos were also the first pop group to be sued for libel and also spawned the late, great Terry Jones, the inimitable Eric Idle and South Yorkshire's finest Michael Palin plus living legend and honorary English dude Terry Gilliam who I used to phone asking for a job (yes Terry it was me) all of whom moved over to another Dadaist outfit, Monty Python's Flying Circus. "Look, I'm really expressing myself"😂 They originally considered the moniker of "The Bonzo Dog Dada Band" but settled, if you pardon the pun, on "Doo-Dah" instead.
Maybe I've got this wrong, but it seems that if everything is art, which it is, then the enterprise of making "art" is finished. But for a number of reasons, that enterprise needs to continue...for the time being. The fact that this occurred to people a century ago means we're getting close to a time when we can afford to let go of "art" and "artists."
Interesting point of view! We hope we’ll never be able to afford letting go of “art” as this what makes life worth living! 🎉
The Eric Andre Show proves that there's still a high desire for art of this kind even today. :)
Dadaism is my argument towards musicians who criticize producers who sample works from other artists. Pretty sure these dada artists were criticized for their works during their time, too.
Yes! People who criticize sampled music for its “lack of originality” come off as real naive and arrogant in regards to their own originality. Everything we create is just a montage of random things that have inspired us. Nothing can be COMPLETELY void of some type of sampling. Some forms of sampling is just more obvious than others.
Yes, art can be anything. Just make sure to sign it!
Great job 👍👌
Thank you 🙏🏻
where is the jean arp quote taken from ?
From “Jean Arp: Transforming a Century of Modern Art” by Sotheby's
@@CuriousMuse thank you
0:59 using toblerone mountains to represent switzerland 👏👏👏

Came here after playing the game, murder in alps. Now digging deep into dadaism and history :)
Hehe, welcome :)
Jean Arp? Jean doesn't rhyme with Gene. It rhymes with John, and the J sounds something like ZH.
If there is no technique, there is no art.
I "get" Dada better than some other art movements. I find Duchamp particularly amusing for his irreverence. With the Readymades, the art is not the craft - it's the concept and the overarching question, "what is art and who decides?"
That’s a big question 🤔
@@CuriousMuse And a provocative one! The debate continues, as you've no doubt seen in the other comments. I side with the artist. Something may be defined as art, but as a viewer I don't have to like or understand it (and often don't.)
makes me think of the song "Da Da Da" by Trio
Love
DAMN THIS IS HELLA UNDERRATED
Please give this video a like to fix the situation 😁
@@CuriousMuse yes of course!! Ill make sure to tell my friends about you!
So kind of you! 🙏🏻
Out of curiosity, where does the term “dada” come from? Is it someone’s name? Or is it a meaningless word in of itself?
The founder of dada was a writer, Hugo Ball. In 1916 he started a satirical night-club in Zurich, the Cabaret Voltaire, and a magazine which, wrote Ball, 'will bear the name ”Dada”. He picked Dada simply because he came upon the word in a French-German dictionary and it didn’t mean anything special ( ‘yes, yes’ in Rumanian, ‘rocking horse’ and ‘hobby horse’ in French).
@@CuriousMuse interesting.
excelent!
😍👋🏻
Dada is amazing.
Hello from Romania!
😍👋🏻
Without having a firm grasp of what damage and suffering the people of the beginning of the 20th century might have
received , maybe it would be very hard to properly understand Dadaism.
Any artistic works will reflect the zeitgeist . The reason I find Jean Arp and other Dadaists very difficult to understand is, I guess, I have never experienced any war and bomb attacks..
Do I need to force myself to learn how to negate everything and feel that everything is meaningless before being able
to relate to Duchamp's ? 🤔😁
But I think I can understand Duchamp's 〈L.H.O.O.Q.〉 because I used to do the same on my face when I was a little bit of a nihilist .😉
The Name Dada comes from the known bird „Dodo“ as i got told in a museum in Zurich once
Oh wow, this is interesting. Clearly many opinions on the true origin :)
No it doesn't
Art is in the eye of the beholder, the eyes are countless.
So true 🤩
holy shit so from there comes new hip hop and rap
Haha 😂 perhaps!
7:40 What did you find most peculiar about dadaism?

Lol, a good question! Sometimes a banana is just a banana. And sometimes, like the one duct-taped to a wall that sold for $120,000 is an expensive piece of art. Here’s one quote that gives more context: “Maurizio’s work is not just about objects, but about how objects move through the world. Whether affixed to the wall of an art fair booth or displayed on the cover of the New York Post, Maurizio forces us to question how value is placed on material goods. The spectacle, which has been orchestrated so beautifully, is as much a part of the work as the banana.”
@@CuriousMuse Actually because Duchamp nailed it with 'Fountain'. The question should not be (as the bourgeouis art critics flood us with mystification about) "Is this Art?" but rather, "Is this any good? Is it crap, is it just mediocre?" There's the question...Mind you, you have that question answered then art critics are out of a job, we can buy Monets for a fiver and Capitalism collapses...
I just have find your channel and I subscribe it.
I would like to do the translation in Spanish language for my Art channel...
Welcome! 🙏🏻
Can Dadaist be equated to Con-artist where it's making a fool out of our selves with Confidence to believe inception of an idea is the value even there in no sense to it. A valueless value?
Wouldn't their intentions be different? Dada artists don't trick other people in order to get their money...
@@CuriousMuse well may not be insidious as con artists but there is a advantage whether through status, influence, fame and contribution to the movement, gained on their part. Couldn't intellectual robbery be as harmful as literal one.
Also, does intention matter when dada's main principle being meaninglessness?
3:38 that’s literally my mom on the phone with me when there’s nothing more to tell me…she starts inventing random words…
😬
My Jean Arp AP happily resides near our entry.
Who’s that woman on the title image?
It may be Hannah Höch, a German Dada artist 👩🎨
Why are their Sarah Lucas photos from the 1990s in here?
In what time stamp? Some of her work does seem to connect to the idea of what Dadaism was about so just there for a visual reference?
What about Alfred Jarry?
So is jabbawocky a Dadaist poem.
Perhaps - it’s full of nonsense! 😅

These are my opinions on dadaism
1) The definition of art should be exempted from aesthetics. Art should be allowed to be beautiful (in a conventional sense) and ugly (I'm a big fan of Roger ballen's work because it terrfies me)
2) What is art and what isn't art should be relative, if I make a painting & my dad doesn't think its art, that's his opinion. His opinion of what is art & what isn't would guide him to appreciate and criticise what he likes or doesn't like. He's not uncultured or unintelligent for not qualifying my work as art.
The content is really cool. Though the way to represent ideas in "Zoomer's visual style" is not working well I think. All the likes, moving numbers just add visual noise and draw my attention from the original images and ideas. The young audience is able to perceive ideas without that (take Joe Rogan show, Ted talks, movies, etc.) Mb I'm too old for that, idk) just 24
Thank you for watching our story 😍 and taking time to share your feedback! 👍🏻
🤦🏻
It's just a very rough overview. If anybody knows better videos, who are more interested for people who like to go more into the topic, please tell me! These videos are nice on one hand- on the other they are more for middle school, if you ask me.
Let us know as well what you find, thanks!
.......Honestly though I have no clue even to what kind of art we're discussing here besides knowing that it is the "Dada of surrealist kid" ......but maybe that's the whole point?????
a form of “anti-art”?
Dada won. Dada is mainstream now. Nonsense reigns. Dada's ways reign.
O Big G ... For a moment I read "I mutt / I quit" ...
My trip to the bathroom this morning took more creative labor than anything Duchamp put into that urinal.
What a scam.
That's the point
"Da Da" in romanian is not just saying yes two times its a form of expression ,that means that you are against something !!! Like Yes Yes but you actualy think difrent
DADAism was the beginning of the end of ART (in capital letters) as it was the idea of doing-anything became artwork pieces as long you have a discourse to explain it. Therefore what we have nowdays and the stupidity of artist. ART no fART
Interesting point of view 🤔
Gene Arp? 🤔
🤔
Was that Mithun da in 2:53?
Indeed 😚
2:20 mithun chakraborty!

Giving rise to the old childrens song : "Dada wouldn't buy me a Bauhaus....."
I represent an art movement, cool
You do!
