{"product_id":"dada-data-sarah-hegenbart-9781350227613","title":"Dada Data: Contemporary Art Practice in the Era of Post-Truth Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDada'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. \u003ci\u003eDada Data\u003c\/i\u003e 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 Hh, Paula Rego, Tschabalala Self, Sheida Soleimani and South African artists donna Kukama and Kemang Wa Lehulere. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eDada Data\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a rich scrapbook of Dada resources and perspectives that are highly relevant to present-day political concerns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith artistic contributions by IOCOSE, donna Kukama, Kemang Wa Lehulere and Montage M臈els.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Hegenbart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350227617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350227613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Sarah Hegenbart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071398506751,"sku":"9781350227613","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ce2e1c3-92ee-4ea1-9069-d3f3bf93d40c.jpg?v=1685435862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dada-data-sarah-hegenbart-9781350227613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
