Lecture: Dada 1916 - 2016

Friday 8th April, 7.30pm

Marc Dachy, Director of the DADA Archive in Paris will talk about Kurt Schwitters and DADA. Though it only lasted a decade from 1915, the outpourings of Dada - art, collages, plays - remain the stuff of the avant-garde, from Schwitters's sound poems to Duchamp's urinal. Marc Dachy will re-trace the events that lead to Schwitters departure from the movement and then focus on what might distinguish between a DADA and MERZ attitude in art. Followed by a panel discussion.
