Not that funny in this case, since this has nothing to do with "postmodernism". The artists that did those things we discussed were peak modernism. Dada/surealism (Duchamp), or nouveau réalisme (Klein) for example, and of course the entirety of data, lettrism, etc. have nothing at all to do with postmodernism. In fact post-modernism, both when taken as a critical stance and as an artistic theory, was precisely against modernism (that those artists represented).
