Dada and Constructivism

 

Dada

  • Anti-art, anti-social

 

  • Anti-snobbery

 

  • Okay, it's anti-everything

 

  • Provoke viewers into understanding that the world is purposeless, absurd

 

  • They staged shocking events like readings of nonsense poetry, mock art exhibits, etc.

 

  • The name was chosen randomly; it's basically a nonsense word, like "googoo."

 

  • "Burn the museums, damn the patrons, everything is art."

Constructivism

 

  • Mostly Russian

 

  • Opposed art for art's sake

 

  • Art required a mission or needed a function!

 

  • Authenticity, tangible materials, real space, photography
