Dada Talk & Show Review

            During the Dada exhibitions that was being held at the Jot Travis Building, there were a bunch of artists that talked about their worked at the exhibitions. While it was interesting their idea behind why they did their project, it was odd seeing the final product they ended up with. The donkey head one was interesting as she talked about why she chose that and how she went about it like where she wore it and why she wore it at these places. Another one that was cool was the huge rug with a picture on it with the picture being random stuff. While the artists talked about why they chose it like that, I felt like the picture rug was something you would get to show off for family and stuff like that or memory of something you did. What caught my interest was a giant yellow Mickey Mouse things with a clear body full of yellow smiley balls. That not only creeped me out, but it made me think about "Is this artist making fun of Disney and they're happy go spirited company, or the fact that it's making fun of companies trying to portray that happiness comes at a price?" The artist who did that piece was not there for the talk or the show, but boy that piece was something that just caught my attention and made me think "What in the world were they thinking when they came up with that?"

            Overall I thought the artist talk and artist show was fantastic and intriguing to experince.
