Dada Style

DADAISM

Dadaism is an art movement appears in WWI from 1916-1922, which was a quite short time. The idea of Dadaism is to challenge the traditional art and ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. You can even not treat Dada as an art but an anti-art.
Dada is more like a collection of images or playing with arts. Though it was appeared in a quite short period, it really influences some art movement a lot after. It won't give audience any deep meanings there. However, it pregnant the idea that art does not always needs to be exquisite and beautiful anymore.

Duchamp is one of the most famous artist in Dadaism. He is the only one could bridge a relationship between Dadaism and Surrealism, which was in a same period with Dada. He created his own way about how to represent artworks, which is called Readymades. Readymades is more like modified original objects and some new element to create a fairly new artwork with new ideas. And mostly, people think those thinks are not artworks and does not make any sense.

CUBISM

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon; 1907; Picasso

Cubism is an avant-garde art movement in 20th century that began in Paris around 1907. Picasso and Braque are the most famous artists in Cubism. It is quite influenced by African art, as well as Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

From the name of Cubism, we can analyse that Cubism artworks are represent in a cubic way that usually present in a broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled form.
Instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Cubism drawing their works by using plenty of random angles and straight lines. Curves or circles are not appear in a Cubism artwork often.

Cubism can be divide in to three period. The Early Cubism, which can be also called as pre-Cubism was start form 1906 to 1908. the second phase being called "High Cubism" from 1909 to 1914. Finally Cooper referred to "Late Cubism" from 1914 to 1921 as the last phase of Cubism as a radical avant-garde movement.

ANGLES

Vertical Angle
These suggest different links of power relationships between the represented person(s) or participants and the viewer.
• High angle – the viewer is looking down on the represented person, putting the viewer in a more powerful position
• Low angle – the viewer looks up to the represented person, putting the viewer in a less powerful position
• Eye level – the point of view is one of equality with no power difference involved



Horizontal angles
• frontal angle – suggests viewer involvement with the person or objects in the image
• oblique angle – suggest viewer detachment with the persons or objects in the image

SYMBOLS

Absolute: Something have the only way to go. Of course, 1is always more than 0. That is ABSOLUTELY correct.

Infinite: Ideas coming from Penrose stairs. It is circular forever and never going to stop.
Blind: What you suppose to see if you are blind? Only black , nothing else. That my identification to blind.

Symbolism

Symbolism is an art movement which starts in 19th century from 1885 to 1910. It rejected bot hRealism and Impression and served to extend the private movement of Decadence and Romantic tradition of mysticism and intense emotion. Symbolist painting emphasized fantasy and imagination in their depiction of objects. The artists of the movement often used metaphors and symbols to suggest a subject and favored mystical and occult themes.

After the exhibition in Whiterabbit

Whiterabbit is a art gallary which is located at 30 Balfour Street Chippendale NSW 2008 Australia. It is opened from Thursday – Sunday; 10am – 6pm and everyone can go for free. Most of the artwork in this gallary is made by Chinese artists. Mrs Neilson, who is the owner of this gallary, decide to show all the artworks she buys would make the exciting world of contemporary Chinese art available to all Australians.

The artworks in the gallary relate to the policy, culture and reflect the big environment in China quite a lot. Some of them also represents the relationship between environment and humen being; the artist's main values to the world and life,etc.

The work called "Monalisa from Clear Sky to Rain" and made by Han jinpeng really impress me. It uses modern techniques to display and challanged the traditional art. Traditional frame is used that really creates a contrast with the main artwork. In the video, artstist dressed as the character in famous traditional painting himself record the whole process in the natural phenomenon. After the appearance of a famous artwork character, they are all just normal people. Very interesting way to showing the idea.

The establishment of the Gallery, though, was very deliberate. We wanted to share with Australians and the world the best of Chinese contemporary art since 2000—a turning point that I think of as the Big Bang. I hope all visitors to the Gallery will experience the surprise, delight and fascination that the White Rabbit Collection’s artists and their works have given the Neilson family.

There's always some interesting view about life, culture, community & policy. Most of them are in a postmodernism style. And some of them are also quite Sinic.

The artwork "You Are Not Yourself" was made by the postmodern artist Barbara Kruger in 1982. Her work is always focuse on social ideas and gender problems. As a feminist, Barbara Kugra choosed a female to be her represented participants in this work.

• the shattered marrior is a reflection on her misery
