- Title
ART AS UNFULFILLED UTOPIA: THE EXPERIENCE OF THE POLITICAL IN DADA'S REDEFINING OF ART.
- Authors
Maftei, Ştefan-Sebastian
- Abstract
The paper speculates upon the relationship between art and politics within the artistic phenomenon that was named "Dada". The main research target will be the examination of the presence of the political inside the Dada activities which emerged in Zürich and Berlin between 1916 and 1920. The study will try to locate the presence of the political in Dadaist reflections related to the notion of artistic utopia. The study reaches the conclusion that the Dada views on utopia support the Adornian notion of the "unfulfilled utopia". In addition, the study suggests that the Dada notion of artistic utopia can be seen as a complement to the famous Dadaistic "negative" and radical redefinition of the notion of "art" at the beginning of the XX-th century.
