Join the artists highlighted in our Reclaimed Realities exhibit. This fast-paced lecture dives into the irreverent spirit of the Dada and readymade movements—where chance, humor, and rebellion cracked open the very definition of art. We’ll trace how artists transformed everyday objects into radical statements, from Duchamp’s subversive gestures to the rise of assemblage as a vehicle for protest, poetry, and play. The session then connects these historic provocateurs to the contemporary voices of Reclaimed Realities, spotlighting how today’s artists reimagine discarded materials, elevate overlooked objects, and challenge cultural narratives with the same fearless spark. Expect sharp insights, unexpected connections, and a fresh look at how chaos, critique, and creativity collide.
