Seminar
Global Dada
Maxwell Boersma
Kommentar
This seminar provides an expansive introduction to the Dada art movement and its profound impact on global modern and contemporary art. Starting from its formation in Zürich in response to the first World War, course readings will follow the movement’s varied manifestations across Germany, France, and the United States, as well as highlight engagements with its ideas and approaches by artists from Japan, Latin America, China, and the African diaspora. Students will become acquainted with Dada’s most characteristic artistic strategies—including performance, collage, photomontage, the readymade, and installation art—and their reinvention in distinct cultural, political, and social contexts, especially across the postwar period. The course will likewise complicate notions of the movement’s aesthetic radicality in light of its entwinement with primitivism and logics of European colonialism. The seminar meets bi-weekly (see dates below). Schließen
