Wonderful lecture
Thumbnail guy looks like…Grant Gustin [The FLASH]
were still letting billionaires tell us what to do..
Really provocative presentation. Thanks much
seriously, this lecture was so amazingly good i had to clap along with the audience at the end of the video… thanks a million for making it available
I find interesting how Dada appeared simultaneously in six different cities. It means not only that some people emotionally react to the phenomenon in the same way, it is known thing, but also art representation of their feelings and emotions can be somewhat similar.
I didnt exactly understand the connection between atomic bombs and the end of surrealism. :
Way better than my boring Humanities Professor..
“Dada is anti art”???
“They were probably just looking for fights”????
Good presentation.
Great lecture:
This was a great watch/listen. Just happened upon this and glad that I did.
Very interesting (and helpful for the preparation of my exam). Thank you!
Seems that Futurism was more of an influence than the Communists / Bolsheviks… Anyhow, the poster "on the right" is dated 1920 and Dada typography was already established by then and even derivative of the Italian Futurists…
Can you/anoyone tell me where i can find further information(books etc) about Breton in Nantes during ww1, and basically any other information about his usage of freuds theories.
Very good lecture. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the comic on the powerpoint was that featured Dalí, Lacan, and Breton?
With regards to dadaism, this video basically regurgitates the same old "in a nutshell" kind of mass-marketed 'art book' description of dada that defines the movement as a nihilistic 'haha' prelude to Surrealism. Alas, the 'art' establishment "still needs an operation" (see Tristan Tzara). For all their passive-aggressive faux-bravado, lecturers like this still miss the many varying points and mediums of dada, two of which being the freedoms of expression and artistic license. Rather than doing some real research into the movement, so called 'art' experts still choose to prattle on about anarchism, urinals and absurdity (and, in the USA, communism). They still choose to dismiss the earnestness of Hugo Ball's poem Karawane (and, moreover, his recital of it). They still get very nervous in their failure to describe (or perhaps understand) what a 'frothy nothing' is or how the the elements of 'chance' and 'brevity' (not absurdity) figure highly in dadaism. In pretending to "get the joke", they reveal themselves as what they truly are. VIVA DADA!
Surrealism isn't dead..that is like saying Christianity died with the last apostle or Marxism with Marx. It will continue to evolve and live in a subterranean fashion
amazing lecture…
Why was it so funny that Leautremont wasn't read by his peers? It's curious how people like to laugh at people's imperfections, yet truly, they are laughing at themselves. The hypocrisy of the masses. This lecture was mediocre considering the difficulty in attempting to lecture on a subject so arduous and philosophical, and fitting such a detailed movement in a short amount of time.
This deserves far more views. What a wonderful lecture. I've studied Surrealism with a passion since '97 yet I still heard new info here after all that time.
Surrealism is dead. Viva Surrealism!
