Apart from the notorious brouhaha it caused on the European art
scene of the time, the Dada movement also aimed at bringing to life
non-European forms of artistic expression. The Dadaists understood
shape, material, sound, and movement as equally valid means of
cultural manifestation. This aspect of one of the 20th century's
most influential artistic movements has been largely ignored so far
by scholars and connoisseurs alike. Zurich's Museum Rietberg is
home to a vast collection of African art gathered by Han Coray, a
Zurich-based patron of the arts and collector who also staged Dada
shows in his gallery in Zurich in 1917. Works by Dada artists also
constitute a key part of Berlinische Galerie's permanent
collection. Published in conjunction with exhibitions at the two
museums in spring and summer 2016, this new book for the first time
closely examines the Dadaists' exploration of non-European art and
culture. Richly illustrated essays shed light on the cultural
background of artefacts from Africa, Asia, and Oceania from an
ethnological perspective. Other contributions investigate how Dada
is reflected in the post-colonial discourse and understood in the
context of culture transfer.
