Dada developed in distinct periods and locations, providing the
structure of the book. From Europe and New York during the First
World War it spread to Eastern Europe and Japan in the 1920s. Its
re-emergence as Neo-Dada in the 1950s and influence on Fluxus in
the 1960s was linked to emigres such as Marcel Duchamp and Hans
Richter. Survey: International Dada expert Rudolf Kuenzli surveys
Dada in its historical context and examines its significant impact
and resonance in art and culture today. Linking visual art,
performance and literature, this is a fresh treatement of Dada as
the Dadaists saw it. A reassessment of one of the twentieth
century's most revolutionary movements in the arts, Kuenzli's clear
style is accessible to the scholar and the general reader. Works:
Each image is accompanied by an extended caption. The book is
organized chronologically and geographically around major
explosions of Dada activity. From its inception in Zurich during
the First World War, we follow Dada to New York, Berlin, Hannover,
Cologne, Paris, Central and Eastern Europe, and Japan, finally
looking at Neo-Dada. Arp's Automatic Drawing; Marcel Duchamp's
readymades and Man Ray's assemblages; Francis Picabia's paintings
linking machine and human form; collage with political comment from
Raoul Hausmann and Hannah Hoch; Kurt Schwitter's all-encompassing
concept of Merz; Max Ernst; from the East, the graphics of Lajos
Kassak and El Lissitzky; Okada Tatsuo's constructions and fireworks
attached to the cover of Mavo magazine. A look at Neo- Dada
includes Robert Rauschenberg's Erased de Kooning and the Happenings
of Hi Red Center. Documents include a comprehensive collection of
original Dada writings, researched at the International Dada
Archive and sourced from around the world. Poetry, manifestos and
statements are presented together with letters between Tristan
Tzara and Marcel Duchamp; Beatrice Wood describes 'The Richard Mutt
Case' (the first exhibition of a urinal) to her readers of The
Blind Man in 1917; and in recent interviews artists such as Allan
Kaprow and Arman relate their Dada inheritance.
