Dada

Dada sculptures are part of the Dada art movement, which was a reaction to World War I and the horrors of modern society: 

  • Readymades
    A sculptural form perfected by Marcel Duchamp, readymades are made from found or factory-made objects that are repurposed into installations. Fountain (1917) is one of the most recognizable readymades, incorporating a mass-produced ceramic urinal.
  • Collage
    Jean Arp was a sculptor who pioneered Dadaism by exploring the art of collage.
  • Photomontage
    Man Ray experimented with photography and airbrushing to distance the artist’s hand and incorporate chance.
Other characteristics of Dada art include: 

  • Non-traditional materials
  • Satire and nonsensical content
  • Group collaboration
  • Spontaneity
  • Chance
  • Irreverence
The Dada movement was founded in Zurich by writer Hugo Ball, who started a satirical nightclub called the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916. The movement spread internationally and eventually influenced the development of surrealism in Paris. 

The origin of the name “Dada” is unclear, but some believe it’s a nonsensical word. Others think it comes from the Romanian artists Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco’s frequent use of the words “da, da,” which means “yes, yes” in Romanian.
