About Dada
Description of Dada |
Dada
Artistic
and
literary
movement
launched
in
Zurich
in
1916
but
shared
by
independent
groups
in
New
York,
Berlin,
Paris
and
elsewhere.
The
Dadaists
channelled
their
revulsion
at
World
War

into
an
indictment
of
the
nationalist

materialist
values
that
had
brought
it
about.
They
were
united
not
by
a
common
style
but

a
rejection

seeking
through
their
unorthodox
techniques,
performances
and
provocations
to
shock
society
into
self-awareness.
