Description:
This art movement rejects reason, logic, in fact any form of cultural and intellectual conformity. Dada has only one rule: Never follow any known rules. Celebrate nonsense, irrationality and intuition with your entry.

Rules:
Expert Editing or Advanced Editing

Examples:
"Bicycle Wheel (Roue de bicyclette)" (Marcel Duchamp, 1913)



"Skat Players (Die Skatspieler)" (Otto Dix, 1920)



"L'Ange du Foyer" (Max Ernst, 1937)



"Observatory Time-The Lovers" (Man Ray, 1936)

A chance to just let the imagination run absolutely wild and free...I'd be up for it.

Don't be so crude. They're called fountains.

Dada is the love of the brown ribbon. If we have this challenge, I promise to leave Dada comments on every entry.

Only if signed by R. Mutt

They're still urinals if you recite poetry while looking at them

I can sense you miss the expert challenges Christophe, hey I kind of do as well, enjoyed the last few. This sounds crazy good!
08/02/2012 12:39:16 AM · #14
pourquoi pas? and bring on the Dada comments.

Dada as a art movement, insulated from war in Zurich, originated as an affront & reaction to the insanity & slaughter of WW1. In a great degree artists of the Dada movement mirror the characteristics & method of legitimacy of the time - a rejection of reason and logic.
The purpose of Dada was not primarily to celebrate in an art of a particular aesthetic but rather to protest.

It is difficult not to like the origin of Dada and those regular intellegent, bourgeois, mild mannered, suit & tie, people reacting to global insanity with a technique not unlike our own cut & paste.

I would favor a Dada challenge.

Yes, expert please.

...and lest the women-folk complain, we should have an alternate mamaism challenge to go with it.
