Mary Melilli, Graphic Designer, calligrapher, and Chair of the Art and Design department at Salem State University, and I collaborated on a painting inspired by the DADA movement which is “celebrating” its 100th anniversary this year. This artistic and literary movement arose as a reaction to the atrocities of war and the absurdity of early twentieth century culture. The Art + Design faculty at Salem State University continue this lineage of provocative art making and create diverse works of art that generate questions about our contemporary society, the role of the artist and the purpose of art in the twenty-first century.
