Society for Cutting Up Men
A frenetic collage of torn newspaper clippings, magazine fragments, and raw imagery that embodies Dash Snow's anarchic, confrontational approach to art-making. The work channels the radical feminist manifesto of Valerie Solanas through Snow's signature aesthetic of chaotic accumulation and subcultural defiance. Layers of text and image are violently reassembled, transforming mass media detritus into a charged indictment of masculinity and power structures.

Artists in conversation
Hannah Höch
German · b. 1889
Höch pioneered Dada photomontage that violently dismembered mass media imagery to critique patriarchy and gender norms, sharing Snow's method of reassembling newspaper and magazine fragments into politically charged, confrontational compositions.
Raymond Pettibon
American · b. 1957
Pettibon combines raw hand drawn imagery with dense text fragments torn from subcultural and media sources, producing works with the same anarchic accumulation, underground defiance, and black and white confrontational energy found in this collage.
Winston Smith
American · b. 1952
Smith creates frenetic cut and paste collages sourced entirely from vintage print media, using layered text and image to deliver aggressive political and countercultural commentary that mirrors Snow's Neo Dada aesthetic and raw transgressive approach.
