The
Photography Center of Thessaloniki and the Artist Group TeeToTuM organize the
3rd International Photo Based Mail Art exhibition: No DADA left.
The exhibition will present all the works of artists (from all
over the world) who will attempt to trace in today echoes the practices of
Dada: such as nihilistic side, lack of control and logic, humor and ingenuity,
subversive political criticism, noise and source creative momentum.
In complete contradiction with the spirit of the Dadaists, which
undoubtedly will be the most violent opponents of this "anniversary"
initiative, it is extremely interesting to highlight the "anti-art"
today, heretical and groundbreaking visual proposals, although of course there
are, maybe they have something important to tell us.
In February 2016 has been the 100th anniversary of the launch of
the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, a place that hosted the first actions of the
Dada movement.
Just two years later on 1918, Tristan Tzara, emblematic figure
of the Dadaists, issued the second manifesto of the movement, declaring: “I
write this manifesto to show that people can perform contrary actions together
while taking one fresh gulp of air; I am against action; for continuous
contradiction, for affirmation too, I am neither for nor against and I do not
explain because I hate common sense.”
