My Take on Dada

Dada, a movement in the art world,  is both sophisticated in its premise and often simple in its execution. While it began as a reaction to WWI,  it was also a rejection of bourgeois values and the narrow-minded art world. It can be a play on the consumer world we inhabit or poke fun at what mainstream society believes is valuable in life. Often everyday objects are refashioned with an absurd twist. I was asked to create a set of sculptures to accompany a Dada play about a young man's struggle to become an artist, despite his family's misgivings. What I assembled is below.
