What is Dada? How does it relate to Jean (Hans) Arp and his anti-war movement?

Gallery Educator Kristen Cochran explores how Dada artist Jean (Hans) Arp responded to World War I and how his artwork embodies a spirit which embraces irrationality, nonsense, collaboration, chance and play. Cochran focuses on Arp's relief, 'Plant-Hammer (Terrestrial Forms),' (1916) constructed out of wood and screws then painted to play with perception. Some of the painted shapes are on the same plane; while others are physically separate from one another. The individual pieces are cut not by Arp but in collaboration with a carpenter which at the time is a new way of producing art. Collaboration pushes back against an artist's ego and incorporates some level of chance and lessening control. Arp uses screws instead of glue to keep the relief mutable. The parts have potential for change something which is against the conventional ideas of art as fixed, determined and solely attributed to one artist-author. 'Plant-Hammer' is neither painting nor sculpture. It is both. Arp refused to fit it into one category, perhaps more common now though progressive and daring at that time. Do you think Arp succeeded in making a work that was revolutionary for his time?
