Abstract

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 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. Doing so, *Dada Data* brings together a rich scrapbook of Dada resources and perspectives that are highly relevant to present-day political concerns.

Abstract

Dit boek gaat in op het bijzonder actuele thema van de connectie tussen mode, lichaam en identiteit. De efemere grenzen van het lichaam, body dysmorphia, de fragmentatie en instabiliteit van de menselijke vorm worden belicht in het werk van hedendaagse kunstenaars en ontwerpers. Centraal in de tentoonstelling staat de mysterieuze uitstraling van poppen, bustes en mannequins. Ontwerpers en kunstenaars gebruiken zulke poppen om klassieke symbolen van vrouwelijkheid uit te dagen en de ambiguïteit op te zoeken tussen beweging en verstilling, tussen het levende en het levenloze. De tentoonstelling kijkt verder naar de symbiose tussen mode en technologie in de vorm van cyborgs en avatars, alsook naar schaamte en lichaamsmodificatie. In maart 2022 opent de tentoonstelling 'Mirror Mirror. Mode & de Psyche’. Deze dubbeltentoonstelling combineert de ervaring en expertise van in Gent en MoMu ModeMuseum Antwerpen. De tentoonstelling presenteert werk van (onder andere) Balenciaga, Genesis Belanger, Hans Bellmer, Genieve Figgis, Antony Gormley, Pierre Huyghe, Rei Kawakubo, Sarah Lucas, Martin Margiela, John Miller, Noir Kei Ninomiya, Molly Goddard, Martin Margiela, Orlan, Simone Rocha en Ed Atkins.

Abstract

Digital technologies have profoundly impacted the arts and expanded the field of sculpture since the 1950s. Art history, however, continues to pay little attention to sculptural works that are conceived and ‘materialized’ using digital technologies. How can we rethink the artistic medium in relation to our technological present and its historical precursors? A number of theoretical approaches discuss the implications of the so-called ‘Aesthetics of the Digital’, referring, above all, to screen-based phenomena. For the first time, this publication brings together international and trans-historical research perspectives to explore how digital technologies re-configure the understanding of sculpture and the sculptural leading into the (post-)digital age. Up-to-date research on digital technologies’ expansion of the concept of sculpture Linking historical sculptural debates with discourse on the new media and (post-)digital culture Digitale Technologien haben die Künste grundlegend geprägt und das Feld der Skulptur seit den 1950er­Jah­ren erweitert. Die Kunstgeschichte schenkt jedoch skulpturalen Werken, die mithilfe von Computerprogram­men konzipiert und „materialisiert" wurden, bisher wenig Aufmerksamkeit. Wie lässt sich das Skulpturale in Bezug auf unsere technologische Gegenwart und seine historischen Vorläufer weiter­ denken? Einige theoretische Ansätze diskutieren die Implikationen einer sogenannten „Ästhetik des Digitalen"; sie beziehen sich vor allem auf bild­schirmbasierte Phänomene. Erstmals werden in dieser Publikation internatio­nale, transhistorische Forschungsper­spektiven vereint, die sich damit auseinandersetzen, wie das Verständnis des Skulpturalen bis ins Zeitalter des (Post­)Digitalen konfiguriert wird. Aktuelle Forschung zur Erweiterung des Skulpturbegriffs durch digitale Technologien Verbindung historischer skulpturaler Debatten mit Diskursen um Neue Medien und (post-)digitale Kultur
