why the dada destructionists?
Brief explaination-
We are a group of art students collaborating to make art (duh...) for one of our many projects this semester.
The work we produce will reference the dada movement of art history (1916-22). Sometimes referred to as Anti-Art.
Our interest lies within the collage aspects of Dada which we will use this in our work, destroying (hence destructionists) and fusing imagery.
Here you will be able to keep up with our progress

Working progress of mock up
This is a mock up i've put together to take in for our tutorial tomorrow, so that we can have a visual to discuss...
Following the tutorial yesterday, and looking at the blog, I'm struck by the way the collage idea seems to make a visual reference to pop-art (Peter Blake's design for the cover of the Beatles album 'Sgt Pepper', for example), but that it is grey instead of colourful, and formed of anonymous-looking rather than famous people. I think that this greyness is quite in keeping with the reference to 'V for Vendetta' that Bodean mentioned, and about the echos of the 1980s in the present political situation in Britain.
I also agree with Johanna's comment that the photo of the draft collage looks even better than the thing in real-life. So perhaps that feeds into the idea that someone mentioned about showing some form of documentation rather than the original work?
Well, good work so far, and email me if you have any questions before the presentations.
mega like!!!
ReplyDeletethe photo looks a lot cleaner than the object itself...
