MoMA | Dada

World War I and Dada
·      What is Dada and why did it come into existence? Dada is an art movement inspired by World War I and doesn't share common styles between artwork.


Marcel Duchamp and the Readymade
·      Discuss Duchamp’s notion of “Readymades”.  What are they?
     Mass-produced objects isolated from their functional context.
·      How do they change your expectations about what art can be? 
     In my opinion, artwork would be a painting, sculpture, photograph, drawing, etc., but now, artwork can be any object created by man

·      


Chance Creations: Collage, Photomontage, and Assemblage
·      Dada artists turned to non-art making strategies…
o   What did they embrace?
chance accident
o   Why did they take this approach?
It was their way of protest, showing the violent world they lived in
·      


Artist Collaboration
·      What is the value of art made by Dadaists?
     The value doesn't lay in the artwork itself, but in the act of collaborating with others to create new visions


Word Play
·      How and why did Dada artists work with words?
   sought to undermine the fundamental structure of rational, ordered society. They turned words and letters into abstract forms and stripping forms
