“Soaring Dribble Glut” is an installation artwork created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1992, belonging to the Neo-Dada art movement. The artwork showcases a synthesis of eclectic materials, characteristic of the installation genre, and is distinguished by its experimental and unconventional composition that challenges traditional art forms.
The artwork consists of a large, vertically-oriented arrow sign constructed from found objects and industrial materials. The arrow is painted in distressed colors, primarily worn yellow and rusted metal, giving it a weathered appearance. Circular light bulbs line the arrow’s edges, emphasizing its form and adding an element of illumination to the piece. Behind and partially intertwined with the arrow, there are letters and numbers, suggesting a chaotic and fragmented form of communication or signage. The juxtaposition of the rough textures, reclaimed materials, and lighting elements embodies the Neo-Dada philosophy of recontextualizing everyday objects to create art that defies conventional aesthetics and provokes thought.
