Dada Data: Contemporary Art Practice in the Era of Post-Truth Politics

Editat de Sarah Hegenbart, Mara-Johanna Kölmel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mar 2023
What is the relevance of Dada and its artistic strategies in our current moment, one marked by post-truth politics, information floods and big data? How can contemporary art highlight the neglected nuances of cultural representation in the present day? While it may feel like we are living in a period of anomaly with the rise of the alt-right, this book shows how the Dada movement's artistic response to the aggressive nationalism and fascism of its time offers a fruitful analogy to our contemporary era.Dada's counter-cultural strategies, such as the distortion of reality and attacks on elites and rationality, have long been endorsed by artistic avantgardes and subcultures. Dada Data details how modern-day movements have appropriated such tactics in their ways of addressing the public both on- and offline. Bringing together contributions from interdisciplinary scholars, curators and artists working in global contexts that explore an array of artistic modes of persuasion and resistance, the book demonstrates how contemporary art can bring out neglected nuances of our post-truth moment. In linking the Dada movement's counter-cultural activities to modern phenomena such as post-internet art, information floods and big data mining, the book collates original propaganda with diverse artwork from such figures as Hannah Höch, Paula Rego, Tschabalala Self, Sheida Soleimani and South African artists donna Kukama and Kemang Wa Lehulere. In doing so, Dada Data brings together a rich scrapbook of Dada resources and perspectives that are highly relevant to present-day political concerns.With artistic contributions by IOCOSE, donna Kukama, Kemang Wa Lehulere and Montage Mädels.

Recenzii

Providing new ways of combatting the current and continued onslaught of right-wing aggression, Dada Data offers the potential for a way forward through a variety of curatorial, political and social interventions.
Smart and focused, challenging and illuminating, Dada Data is a much-needed study, arriving at a timely moment but also promising to have long-term implications for the study of aesthetic resistance and counter-cultural practice.
Offering a spectrum of fascinating and surprising interpretations on the influence of post-truth politics on contemporary art, and bringing together a range of international researchers and curators, Dada Data is recommended for anyone who would like to gain an informed overview of these cultural crossovers.
