Dada Destructionists

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 Jo

Chapman Brothers

I just want to reiterate on the Chapman Brothers, as we quickly passed over them and I was just thinking for our presentation they are fairly important; especially as a just found out a new piece of information about them.

They made work that was deemed appalling, vulgar and offensive. They also produced work for the White Cube gallery in 2008 that exhibited 13 apparently authenticated watercolours by Adolf Hitler, they added hippie motifs. Jake Chapman described most of the dictator's works as "awful landscapes" which they had "prettified".
