Dada • 1921 • III
The Société Anonyme in New York holds an April Fool's Day symposium with the theme 'What is Dadaism?' One disgusted reviewer comments in American Art News that "the Dada philosophy is the sickest, most paralysing and most destructive thing that has ever originated in the brain of man..."
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
