a brief history of Dadaist and Surrealist publications.

by Irene Hoffman

excerpt from page 1:

United in their frustration and disillusionment with the war and their disgust with the culture that allowed it, the Dadaists felt that only insurrection and protest could fully express their rage. "The beginnings of Dada," Tristan Tzara remarked, "were not the beginnings of art, but of disgust."[5] As Marcel Janco recalled: "We had lost confidence in our culture. Everything had to be demolished. We would begin again after the tabula rasa. At the Cabaret Voltaire we began by shocking the bourgeois, demolishing his idea of art, attacking common sense, public opinion, education, institutions, museums, good taste, in short, the whole prevailing order."[6] Through uproarious evenings filled with noise-music, abstract-poetry readings, and other performances, Dada began to voice its aggressive message. While Dada evenings soon became notorious for insurrection and powerful assaults on art and bourgeois culture, it was through Dada journals that the news of this developing movement reached all corners of Europe and even the United States.

mid february.

"It is necessary to clarify the intentions of this cabaret. It is its aim to remind the world that there are people of independent minds—beyond war and nationalism—who live for different ideals."

swell itz interezting just how they envisioned their manefstowz, man, a tabla raza, really of reality perception, out of the stinking debris, eh?

So what about the post WW1 Germans and Italians, eh? The French were "victims" I guess, eh? But they all intermixed with cubizm, futurizm, dadada
But they still had their dirty little colonies in Indocchina, it was a protest against the predominant cultural intransigence,
zo their rebellion was not politically effective, yet at loeast they kept the revolutionary spirit alive in the cabaret in Zurich.

shared a room there with a draft dodger back in the summer of 1970, met a czhek student at the union cafe,
told him i waz going to vietnam, he said, "leave your country"
i could be a laplander right now
neat, eh?

how does one do that today, eh?
it's a whole diffrent ballgam, eh?i

so they'll have spy cams in february, eh?"

[e_dog]

everyone will be encouraged to bring their own spy cam and to submit footage to be randomly scrambled mixed into a video montage of viewer re-actions.

[Dave The Dov]

Ahh the Dadaists would be proud of us for doing it!!!!
