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.
