FLUXLIST: RE: anti-art

[Josh Ronsen]

ANTI-ART: "In the visual arts, work that is exhibited in a conventional context but 
makes fun of serious art or challenges the nature of art; it is characteristic of 
Dada. Marcel Duchamp is credited with introducing the term around 1914, and its spirit 
is summed up in his attempt to exhibit a urinal (Fountain 1917). The term is also used 
to describe other intentionally provocative art forms, for example, nonsense poetry."
