Below is the section from an article that I mashed up to create my Dadaist poem. (I selected these passages because they include the word chainsaw, which some in the group appear to be inordinately, almost DSM diagnosis-worthily, fond of).
"People here would love to keep them all, but, eventually we're going to get to the point where we're overrun with them," Nichols said. "There are so many chainsaw carvings, one city worker has to spend most of his work day curating and caring for them.”
Nichols said the idea of selling off public art was a contentious one, and many people in the community are quite attached to the sculptures. However, Nichols says the money will be put to good use at next year's carving championships.

And somehow some of it makes some sense. So strange.
ReplyDeleteDada! (or did I mean tada?)
ReplyDeleteI think you should have taken a chainsaw to the article. That would be brutalist dada poetry. I'm going to try this now.
