WHAT THE HELL IS DADA?

Here's what some of the artists themselves said:

"DaDa is beautiful like the night, who cradles the young day in her arms." - Hans Arp "DADA speaks with you, it is everything, it envelopes everything, it belongs to every religion, can be neither victory or defeat, it lives in space and not in time." - Francis Picabia
"Dada is the sun, Dada is the egg. Dada is the Police of the Police." - Richard Huelsenbeck

DaDa was an extremist psychology that incorporated all aspects of the arts. It was a radicalist way of thinking that produced some of the most controvercial works in the history of art. Leading into Surrealism, DaDa artists were concerned in the human brain, how normality is perceived and such issues. An interesting project is to create your own DaDa poem through the use of 'chance', which was another issue the DaDaists were concerned about and how a lot of Dada works were produced.
