Scope and Contents

The sculptural image is a stylized chicken with mostly illegible, fragmented, writings and rubberstamped phrases with dada and fluxus content on its surface. The name of the bird/birdlike chararcter is Loplop who is featured in prints, collages and paintings by Max Ernst. Lopllop was an alter ego which Ernst developed and functioned as a familiar animal. Loplop first appeared in Ernst's collage novels La Femme 100 Tetes and in Une Semaine de Bonte in the role of a narrator and commentator. The cardboard box base has illegible handwriting on its lid, rubberstamped words DADA and stylized chicken heads on its sides, and rubberstamped, stylized heads of chickens within the inside bottom of the box. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
