on this blog!!!
Anyway.... I have no idea how much we're ment to put on here. I have research on the Exquisite Corpse Game, and the similar game, Consequences.
(i'll post it up if people feel it's going to be necessary!!)
Ok Dada/Dadaism: was a cultural movement more than an artistic one (as alice may have pointed out as she told me!) It originated in Zurich (Switzerland) during world war 2 as a kind of rebellion to the war and to show how they really didn't agree with it. They were primarily involved in the visual arts, literature and poetry, art manifestos, art theory and graphic design.(i'm not sure what is left after that list!)
They concentrated their anti war views through rejecting the standard art, and so became anti-artists. They influenced avant-gard, surrealism, something els that i wrote down that looks like nouveau surrealism, but this could be wrong, pop art and fluxus.
Fluxus is taken from the 'latin to flow' and was composed of artists, composers and designers. They are known for blending different mediums and disciplines (so they flow between the mediums and disciplines) It started in the 1960's. The movement it described as inter medium, the concept was divised by Dick Higgins to describe inter-disciplinery activities.
I have one Dada esque poem and will do 4 more and 4 in pictures.
As to concentrating on them making sense/being funny.... i'm not sure. Have you tried it yet jo from an article? I think it would be quite hard and even more time consuming, but we can try.
Nie
I jsut had an idea from reading this. What about getting pictures of all the political leaders in the world, cutting them into a squares and rearraging them...
