Marcel Duchamp had a hand in Dadaism too, he created "readymades," ordinary objects that were works of art simply because they were displayed as works of art, one of them was a urinal entitled "Fountain." I'm also reminded of a headline from the Onion from 1923 in their book Our Dumb Century: "DADAIST MOVEMENT ENDS; 'VICTORY' CRY DADAISTS - Dadaists Drench Selves with Glue in Celebration."
