Brilliant, just brilliant! There aren't enoguh words to describe the joy of watching this content! This evening I read the First Surrealist Manifesto (1924), never had I ever focused on this artistisc movement (and its various branches) and I was quite pleased with the reading. I believe that the approach given to art, and even our social, economic and political connundrum by these movements serves both as a parody and a complaint on how we are running things. I'd really love to watch a video on any of the artist mentione on the video. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Ironically, dadaists declared art as senseless, but since everything the artist declares as art, is considered to be art, it is actually the artist himself who declares art as senseless. The conclusion was meant to be that art is neither in the process nor subject to the piece of art itself, but rather gains meaning by the artist's declaration and interpretation - whereas "meaning" was a very far stretch of a word to begin with. As if the old question "what is art" led to frustration, and so everything could possibly be art, taking it the halo of craftmanship, talent and the extraordinary. Consequently, this would have rendered art as pointless, because you need not create what is already there, just waiting for a label. It's the irony that the process of creating, creativity, dedication and skill was reduced to the act of declaring something as art. In short: they went with dadaism so far over the top they didn't realise the whole idea about dadaism was basically bullshit ;-)

Dadaism walked so surrealism could run.

I find it curious that a century later, millennials and zoomers unconsciously inherited the art form, now practiced as (internet) Memes in image and short video clips. In addition, the idea of Dada poems, nonsensical composition of words, are parallel to famous person quotes that has been practiced widely across comments sections, as it emphasizes important babble, like the famous Sun Tzu: "Thick thighs save lives, but thigh-highs will be my demise." -Sun Tzu, Art of War or another example: "Quantum Physics are for nerds. I'd rather smoke weed." - Nikola Tesla Although it differs in many ways, Dadaism and Memes have a lot in common especially in virtual platform, celebrated in its excellence. Lounges in turn has been replaced by group chats or discord servers and is still tackling current events, as a way to immerse another way of communication, with meaning or meaningn't. P good vid btw! Hope to see more. :>

I find myself thinking about Duchamp's urinal from a different angle than I've heard anyone discuss before. I find the most pressing question within myself isn't "is this art?" but rather, "Who can claim credit for this art?" because if you look at the urinal itself (which is apparently "not the important part?" even though its the entire content of the artwork) you must consider that SOMEBODY DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED AND PRODUCED THIS PIECE which is undoubtably skilled labor, one might even call it artistic in the way the porcelain was designed and shaped. So to me, this brings up the issue of class and how we often take for granted the skilled, even creative, labor required to produce media and materials which "artists" with some bullshit "vision" can then take all the credit for by slapping their name on it or manipulating it very slightly with little effort. I'm not saying Duchamp has no claim to this art or dismissing its historical significance. I just find it fascinating how the menial labor required for this art piece to even have been made in the first place is ALWAYS overlooked. I think the question of "what is art" is far too obscured beneath a discussion of class and what distinguishes "artisans" vs "fine art" etc. I have even more complex feelings after having studied fine arts at a university level. It has opened my eyes to some of the ways art is gatekept and held above the heads of the common people as something they can't afford to enjoy, despite their handiwork and labor contributing to the foundation of the wealthy upperclass ability to make and enjoy "fine art" at their leisure. I know this video explained how dada was anti establishment blah blah blah.... but I just dont think the urinal piece was good enough. nice idea, but I wish it included some meaning about the skilled and undervalued laborers involved in the making of the actual porcelain structure itself. Edit: I am not studying visual art and I don't know much about this topic. I might not be adding anything new at all but it's just what bothers me the most about this piece. It might have even been part of Duchamp's artistic vision in the first place. But I've never heard anyone raise this point which made me wonder if it tends to get overlooked or if people just dont value tradespeople at all.

This channel deserves far more than 6k subs, you're editing in videos is better than most news channels like Vice and Vox

First heard of Dada as I moved to Frankfurt and attended a jazz „concert“ with a friend. We thought it was just music but it was more poetry(?) than music and we both didn‘t know German that well 😅 was interesting but I became so interested thanks to that concert.

Very good introduction to the topic and as a stimulus to one of the best comments sections on an art topic on YT. Also the creators' taking the trouble to participate is much appreciated.

This video was super nice to watch and very clear and fascinating. Thanks for explaining in a really nice way. I love how you aren't condescending or pretentious in any way, like some artists can be. Thanks a thousand!

Can everything be art? Sure. SHOULD everything be art? No. I just finished a Master's program in studio art, and Duchamp could be a drinking game... as many times as I read him referenced in the stack of articles and books I had to read. Honestly, he played a joke on the art world and they bought it and called him a genius. And now you can buy the certified rights to tape a banana to a wall as an art object for $200k.

There was also a Dada group in Melbourne, Australia in the 1950's. Barry Humphries, internationally known for his alter-ego Dame Edna Everage was the best known of the people involved in Dadaist activities around the city.

What a peculiar art movement!

One of my favorite art movements.

I think youtube can read my mind. I was thinking about the word dadaism in my head in the bathroom yesterday at work and this morning this vid pops up on my youtube page.

I Learn Dada from a Game..and I thought if it is real..And Then here I am making My research.. I love Dada Compositions, And Its influence I am Very much Inlove with Surrealism and Impressionism along with Pop art. Thank you this is Informational💌

The incredible bass player Mononeon was inspired by Dadaism and stated it’s philosophy as being the reason he puts a sock on his bass. He’s the reason I’m watching this video having never heard of the concept before.

I'm doing a presentation on Dada Art for my 2D Design class and your video absolutely helped me understand Dadaism well! very intriguing

I am fascinated by art history, especially more abstract genres so this was a very interesting video, though, in my opinion, dadaism feels a bit like a bunch of artists having a mental breakdown together lol /j

much appreciation for the effort you put into your videos 💕

Some dada hangers on include Terry Gilliam and Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Fleischer Brothers and Betty Boop, Jackson Pollock's splatter works, Walt Disney's psychedelia of the 30's and 40's (Fantasia, Three Caballeros, etc.), Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, and Ron Mueck's freakish giant lifelike sculptures (though this kinds links with other styles.)

HOW DO YOU HAVE ONLY SO MUCH SUBS? YOU CLEARLY DESERVE MILLIONS!!

I love how you put on a twit what the artist said lol

I got told in a tour in Zurich where all the artworks were exhibitet that the urinal from the right angle looks like Mona Lisa. The shape does really remind to it.

thanks, this is helping me get through my art research :)

Very helpful. It was because of David Bryne’s music that i wanted to know more. BTW, his music is amazing and a joy!

WHEN WILL THE VIDEO ABOUT POST-MODERNISM ART COME OUT, AND CONCEPTUAL ART TOO, I LOVE THE VIDEO'S

Thank you so much for such an informative video!

For me art is all about the idea so i prefer the story behind than the artwork's presentation. Dada differs from all before and will be always respected for the future events in art ❤

I worked at a restaurant in Delray Beach, FL called Dada, named after this art movement.

thank you!!

Thanks I have my answer in my art assignment.🥺

Guys, create a video on contemporary artists that are alive now!

Thank you for this information❤

Im lucky to know english,because I really need to understand my current lesson at history,DaDa,so thank you for this amazing video its very usefull. Still learning to speak english perfectly tho!

Great short video on my favorite art movement! My only concern is discussing more women that were involved with the movement.

Good video. I understand the concept of anything possibly being "art", but that's really a semantics debate and not the most productive. The desire to question status quos and therefore the desire to make subversive art is something that is natural for people. That being said, taken to its most extreme (in the case of dadaism), it really feels like a recipe for an unhealthy spread of nihilism. I think art pieces that "aren't even supposed to be good" hanging up in museums as space that could be occupied by art that is made by somebody who genuinely tried to make something great and convey emotion. If it was a short lived joke or confined to obscure underground spaces then whatever, but a large amount of the time, it feels like the "dada mindset" has cemented itself in the minds of critics and art/music snobs who use abstractness and provocativeness as the unquestionable gold standard for what makes something "good". Obviously there's tons of variables in play, but I don't think we should be surprised with how many millennials and zoomers are nihilistic and lack a sense of purpose when "meaningless" or "ironic" art/media is held in such high regard.

My teacher couldn't even teach me this much in two days what I learnt in 8mins You made it so enjoyable and interesting whereas my teacher made me hate it

The Eric Andre Show proves that there's still a high desire for art of this kind even today. :)

I love your videos. Can you guy make a video about similarities and differences between Art Nouveau and Vienna Secession in graphic design, plsssssssss :) Or 2 videos about Art Noueau and Vienna Secession.

Thanks for the video. 🙂

I have a question regarding The Fountain of 'Marcel Duchamp' actually being a piece from the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, what is your opinion on this?

Interesting format , compact and to the point. I have a suggestion ,could you talk about the Dutch Droog design? Greetings 🙏

Such a nice content . You earn 3 more subs

🙂⭐️💌✨ I’m a student majoring in art and I appreciate and really like your video . Thank you

So beautiful 😩💜

Thank you, the best video on this movement! Well summed up!

True spontaneity, up for interpretation. This movement is all about coming up with your own meaning , very esoteric.

I would humbly suggest your viewers peruse the back catalogue of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band (Dada), or perhaps witness their majesty on old episodes of "Do Not Adjust Your Set". British television programming was so far ahead of the game in the 1960s, or maybe the British were just so silly in those days that Dada-ist humour was shown on children's hour and the adults all rushed home to see it. Greetings to "Legs" Larry Smith, Vernon -Dudley-Bohay-Milne, Roger Ruskin-Spear, Rodney Slater and Denis Cowan (if they are still with us) and erstwhile Bonzo members Eric Idle and Michael Palin plus cast members of David Jason (Captain Fantastic) and Denise Coffee (Mrs Black and her Horrible Handbag). A final hoorah for the genius who has contributed so much Mr Terry Gilliam. You made me stronger than the summer inside Albert Camus. Now I am going to try and find the clip of Vic Reeves reading Dada poetry. It's epic.

Maybe I've got this wrong, but it seems that if everything is art, which it is, then the enterprise of making "art" is finished. But for a number of reasons, that enterprise needs to continue...for the time being. The fact that this occurred to people a century ago means we're getting close to a time when we can afford to let go of "art" and "artists."

thank you for this video, I have an art history exam today

Recently discovered your page and im so happy and in love with your contents! Thank you!

Great job 👍👌

0:59 using toblerone mountains to represent switzerland 👏👏👏

I thought the fountain was considered a "conceptual art" piece rather than a dada piece, though I suppose there can be overlap in these things - that said, while I was quickly checking if it was considered conceptual art, I got this quote about it: "it severed forever the traditional link between the artist's labour and the merit of the work" I personally consider that to be one of the very worst things to happen to the art world. I think the artist's labour, as well as level of skill, as aspects we should consider when judging whilst looking at a piece of art, but it feels these things are now thrown out. Just because everybody can be an artist, doesn't mean everything someone produces should be considered art, regardless of whether or not they wish it to be. Furthermore, there are now "artists" out there who essentially commission other people to make their art, but they get the glory because they came up with the idea - everybody has got ideas, it's the skill to act upon these ideas that makes the artists work (imagine a commissioner saying he was the artist for a painting - it's ridiculous. I don't see how it's different when it's not a painting).

Very very interresting....love to hear it on english,but come the Dada not from russian language...exactly at that time 1916 in Zürich Lenin was creating the russian Revolution in caffe Odeon near Cabare Volter

Curios if you guys can do a material on Kitsch! It would be really awesome! Subscribed and smashed the like button, of course! :)

Hello from Romania!

Thank you for your concise explanations. Would you be so kind as to explain the art of Joseph Beuys, if you haven't already? Cheers, R

holy shit so from there comes new hip hop and rap

So who came up with the cut up method of writing/art? Brian gyson/ William Burroughs, or Hugo ball?

what song is playing at the very beginning? I really like it 😍

Came here after playing the game, murder in alps. Now digging deep into dadaism and history :)

Dadaism is my argument towards musicians who criticize producers who sample works from other artists. Pretty sure these dada artists were criticized for their works during their time, too.

My Jean Arp AP happily resides near our entry.

Dada is amazing.

Love

Yes, art can be anything. Just make sure to sign it!

excelent!

7:40 What did you find most peculiar about dadaism? Me:- WHYY IS THAT FUCKING BANANA CALLED AN ART!!!!

makes me think of the song "Da Da Da" by Trio

Jean Arp? Jean doesn't rhyme with Gene. It rhymes with John, and the J sounds something like ZH.

If everything is art, then nothing is art.

The Name Dada comes from the known bird „Dodo“ as i got told in a museum in Zurich once

where is the jean arp quote taken from ?

DAMN THIS IS HELLA UNDERRATED

Out of curiosity, where does the term “dada” come from? Is it someone’s name? Or is it a meaningless word in of itself?

Without having a firm grasp of what damage and suffering the people of the beginning of the 20th century might have received , maybe it would be very hard to properly understand Dadaism. Any artistic works will reflect the zeitgeist . The reason I find Jean Arp and other Dadaists very difficult to understand is, I guess, I have never experienced any war and bomb attacks.. Do I need to force myself to learn how to negate everything and feel that everything is meaningless before being able to relate to Duchamp's ? 🤔😁 But I think I can understand Duchamp's 〈L.H.O.O.Q.〉 because I used to do the same on my face when I was a little bit of a nihilist .😉

I "get" Dada better than some other art movements. I find Duchamp particularly amusing for his irreverence. With the Readymades, the art is not the craft - it's the concept and the overarching question, "what is art and who decides?"

Can Dadaist be equated to Con-artist where it's making a fool out of our selves with Confidence to believe inception of an idea is the value even there in no sense to it. A valueless value?

The content is really cool. Though the way to represent ideas in "Zoomer's visual style" is not working well I think. All the likes, moving numbers just add visual noise and draw my attention from the original images and ideas. The young audience is able to perceive ideas without that (take Joe Rogan show, Ted talks, movies, etc.) Mb I'm too old for that, idk) just 24

Dada won. Dada is mainstream now. Nonsense reigns. Dada's ways reign.

3:38 that’s literally my mom on the phone with me when there’s nothing more to tell me…she starts inventing random words…

Art is in the eye of the beholder, the eyes are countless.

Un fratello

My trip to the bathroom this morning took more creative labor than anything Duchamp put into that urinal. What a scam.

These are my opinions on dadaism 1) The definition of art should be exempted from aesthetics. Art should be allowed to be beautiful (in a conventional sense) and ugly (I'm a big fan of Roger ballen's work because it terrfies me) 2) What is art and what isn't art should be relative, if I make a painting & my dad doesn't think its art, that's his opinion. His opinion of what is art & what isn't would guide him to appreciate and criticise what he likes or doesn't like. He's not uncultured or unintelligent for not qualifying my work as art.

DADAism was the beginning of the end of ART (in capital letters) as it was the idea of doing-anything became artwork pieces as long you have a discourse to explain it. Therefore what we have nowdays and the stupidity of artist. ART no fART

O Big G ... For a moment I read "I mutt / I quit" ...

As a Romanian all I can say it's da da

"Da Da" in romanian is not just saying yes two times its a form of expression ,that means that you are against something !!! Like Yes Yes but you actualy think difrent

5:59

Looks like I'm a Dada Scientist by mere nature :)

Is Dea Cvetković the most beautiful art historian ever?

I just have find your channel and I subscribe it. I would like to do the translation in Spanish language for my Art channel...

.......Honestly though I have no clue even to what kind of art we're discussing here besides knowing that it is the "Dada of surrealist kid" ......but maybe that's the whole point?????

Correction: watch the documentary "Alreadymade" to see who is really behind the Fountain! Spoiler: it is not Marcel Duchamp

Giving rise to the old childrens song : "Dada wouldn't buy me a Bauhaus....."

I represent an art movement, cool

It’s not really an art direction rather creativity method of using randomness and combinatorics as a fuel for cognitive plasticity.
