Workshop, Everyday Objects in Art. Dada
"Before Dada was there, there was Dada"
Dada was not exclusively an artistic movement - literary, musically, political and philosophical
as well as - anti artistic, provocative, literary, playfully musical.
Dada was at its height between 1916 and 1920"s in Zurich but was a broad and international movement.
Dadaism was a reaction to the international upheavals at the time. War and Industrialization changed the way people made and thought about art.
I 1916 Switzerland was a neutral island within the battlefields of Europe.
Artists and pacifists made there way there to escape conscription.

Workshop, Everyday Objects in Art. Marcel Duchamp, Fountain
Principal representative of the use of the everyday object as art.
Duchamp was one of the most revolutionary artists of the 20th century. He was the inventor of the "Ready Made"
It said that Duchamp was responcible, in part, for demolishing the dominance of painting over sculpture. Hole generations of artists since have sworn by his techniques. In 1915 he was said to have given up painting almost entirely. He began making ready made with a piece entitled "Bicycle Wheel" saying
"In 1913 I had the happy idea to fasten a bicycle wheel to a kitchen stool and watch it turn.". This was a bicycle wheel attached to a stool.
In 1915 Duchamp went to New York and exhibited Fountain.
A Urinal on a plinth with the signature R.Mutt and dated.
These Ready mades held certain things in common and asked the same question
"What are the characteristics and conditions that define an object as a work of art?"
Duchamp made three changes to the object.
1) He put it on a plinth
2) He signed and dated it
3) He entered into an exhibition
So by all apperances it looks like a urinal but has many of the attributes of an artwork
