Arnaud Cohen, artista francés que se considera a sí mismo, en plan humorístico, post-neodadaísta punk. Y este es su planteamiento:
“From the start, my work has always had something to do with collage. My ambition is not to create new shapes. I want to give meaning to today’s empty art shapes. As an artist, my whole work is about détournement. Through this method, I do appropriate and scandalize the world. And through this process, though I think that not a single way opens out of the Society of the Spectacle anymore, I still find a way to surf on what Jean Beaudrillard calls Hyperreality. I do agree that détournement contains a showdown with art as an elevated activity in order to see the artistic process as something containing a proletarian revolutionary potential. But as far as I’m concerned, I don’t think artists should renounce to every visual activity. Still, I consider that this activity should be very limited, in order to avoid and resist any ornamental temptation. I think Ready Mades have lost the fight, so it’s now time for what I call Made Readies, which are Almost Ready Mades, Ready Mades with a very limited intervention. It is this intervention that creates the détournement. And, sometimes, the intervention can be limited to the title of the Ready Made.”
