GuGus is a reaction to the Dada movement. It has been a century since the Dada movement. Every century has its wars and crises it is said, therefore maybe every century also needs its DaDa? I want to start a post-dadaist movement called “GuGus”.A movement that demands space for art and literature, diversity, feminism, playfulness, nonsense and seriousness. A movement where different art forms collaborate and enrich each other. The movement wants to be built on a ground of feminism and diversity and is inspired by female artists such as Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Hanna Höch and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Recent research has shown that it is probably Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven who is the artist who made “Fountain” which in art history is attributed to Marcel Duchamp. [1] I am born and grown up in Switzerland and loved the game as a little girl. I never heard about the Dada-movement when growing upp in a little village. First after moving to Sweden, when I started to write and make art, I learned about DaDa and Cabarét Voltaire in Zürich. Tracking TinguelyThis summer, I visited the Tinguely museum in Basel. Experiencing his ”sound machine installations” made me think of how one could transfer his work to our time as a ”paraphrase”. How could a sound machine sound and look today? Kessler SyndromI was born and grew up in Switzerland, my girl’s name is Kessler.Currently, I have learned about the Kessler syndrome. I want to examine it by art.
