Trio - Da Da Da (live)

Dozens if not hundreds of little cliques, gathering in cafés and gin houses, all publishing their little pamphlets and manifestos - I mean, it’s simply not a movement without a manifesto, darling - catfighting like a bunch of schoolgirls, who’s in, who’s out, why weren’t you at my oh-pening? Odieux collectionneur de bibelots bourgeois, you promised. ‘The real Dadas are against Dada,’ what does that even mean? And have you heard about what Marcel’s been getting up to in New York? He tries too hard, too hard, they all do. It all makes my teeth ache, darling, be a dear and bring me some more drops for my tea?

Strange to think that my introduction to Dada was not art class or documentaries, it was a comic book. Thank you, Doom Patrol, for enlightening me in my youth.

If you’re not going to join in the fun maybe go play in the fountain.

[MerelyGifted]

Couldna put it better meself.

That said, Hugo Ball was a sweet, kind, gentle soul who got run off his plot by egotists.

Too catty. (And overly dismissive.) I think that sort of defining of in groups and out groups and jockeying for position would be closer to Surrealism anyway.

This is not a dada comment.

Edit to add dada @ChuckV

[MerelyGifted]

I got hip to dada in a public high school library while skipping class.

@leidentech

This is not a comment.

Magritte is not generally considered to have been a dadaist.

I get right to the end of that and wasn’t sure if it was going to be an Art movement, Christians, Republicans, Gender Crits, Marvel fans, Star Wars vs Star Trek…

[MerelyGifted]

Yeah. Dead common. dada did things no one else had yet even vaguely considered.
