Victorian DaDa

Information

DeVillo Sloan inspired me to start this group, and I'd like help defining it, and would love to see other examples besides my own.

This group is dedicated to mail art, perhaps with a time period theme (Pre-Raphaelite, Flapper, Byzantine, Edwardian, even modern day) of an elegant nature spiked with a Dada / Surreal twist.

Elements can be added as creatively as the artist would like.... Or taken out. Nature is prevalent due to the Romantic floral effect and poetry (often cut & paste) is incorporated. An arm or leg can be truncated and repositioned. Woo Hoo!

Or anything you feel like.

Thank you, and hope to see you here!

Xx.

Comment by carl baker on July 6, 2015 at 10:23pm: but is it DADA?

Comment by carl baker on June 25, 2015 at 2:45am: got any DADA?

Comment by Erin Young on June 18, 2015 at 12:44am: Such amazing art work everyone has!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 12, 2015 at 4:52pm: Thx, Neil. I do a lot of things that are hard copy-digital hybrids, so the scanner still ads the distortion and image degradation that makes copy art so distinctive.

Glitches are the digital equivalent - check out some of DK's glitch art for that.

Comment by Neil Gordon on June 12, 2015 at 4:46pm: Nice work DVS, it still has that Xerox element to it that i can't get out of my head! I like the rawness of the copy machine or printer as a tool..

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 12, 2015 at 2:45am: Thx Carl. I still think it's disappointing. You really have the Gin thing down in some of the pieces you've posted. You know, Moan Lisa does Victorian DaDa too. No question, although I doubt Moan would ever come down here. Well, I'll post Moan Lisa stuff that I think is VD too. I don't know exactly what this is other than Moan appropriated it from somewhere. I'm w/ Mim - great work keeping Gin's vision alive.

Comment by carl baker on June 12, 2015 at 1:26am: DVS, yes,yes,yes.......

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 11, 2015 at 11:15pm: Carl & Neil, here is a new piece I did very intentionally as Victorian DaDa in the style of Gin. Alas, I don't think it turned out doing justice to the group's founder, but I share it all the same.

Comment by Neil Gordon on June 11, 2015 at 7:52pm: WONDERFUL WORK CARL!!!!
