  2. what the heck is it? • international movement in art and literature that used ridicule and nonsense to reflect what was considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world • anti-war, anti-art, and anti-bourgeois movement • anarchistic movement that challenged traditional perceptions of art as well as provoked a reexamination of social and moral values

  3. why? • Dada artists believed that traditional society supports (law, faith, culture, economy, etc) failed to prevent WWI • So, they declared a “war” on tradition and criticized formal institutions and conventional art • Instead they expressed ABSURDITY, SPONTANEITY, and FREE WILL—not just to shock but for imagination • Used new methods, materials, and technologies

  4. … • originally, to express anger over the war • later, to attack the art establishment which was aligned with middle class society • to destroy those systems based on reason and logic and replace them with ones based on anarchy, the primitive, and the irrational

  10. "Dada philosophy is the sickest, most paralyzing and most destructive thing that has ever originated from the brain of man." -Art Reviewer

  11. Dada is a dog - a compass - the lining of the stomach - neither new nor a nude Japanese girl - a gasometer of jangled feelings - Dada is brutal and doesn't go in for propaganda - Dada is a quantity of life in transparent, effortless and gyratory transformation.

  12. DADA is a virgin microbe DADA is against the high cost of living DADA limited company for the exploitation of ideas DADA has 391 different attitudes and colours according to the sex of the president It changes - affirms - says the opposite at the same time - no importance - shouts - goes fishing. Dada is the chameleon of rapid and self-interested change. Dada is against the future. Dada is dead. Dada is absurd. Long live Dada. Dada is not a literary school, howl

  13. A priori, in other words with its eyes closed, Dada places before action and above all: Doubt. DADA doubts everything. Dada is an armadillo. Everything is Dada, too. Beware of Dada. Anti-dadaism is a disease: selfkleptomania, man's normal condition, is DADA. But the real dadas are against DADA.

  14. to make a dadaist poemby tristantzara • Take a newspaper. • Take a pair of scissors. • Choose an article as long as you are planning to make your poem. • Cut out the article. • Then cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them in a bag. • Shake it gently. • Then take out the scraps one after the other in the order in which they left the bag. • Copy conscientiously. • The poem will be like you. • And here you are a writer, infinitely original and endowed with a sensibility that is charming though beyond the understanding of the vulgar.
