ABOUT London Dada
THE SEVEN TENETS OF LONDON DADA
By Michael St.Mark ( based on the founding group of Dadaists’ collective vision )
1. Radical art innovations
2. New art inventions / concepts
3. Morally-motivated perception-based art protest and fearless critical analysis of contemporary art ( central tenet )
4. Perceptive societal and political commentary expressed through art.
5. Serendipity / chance art expressions
6. Humour ( dry, whimsical or sardonic )
7. Multimedia expressions of the One-ness of life. ( centre spot )
( The 7 tenets are ever present, often in various combinations within Dada Works )
” The Dadaist is convinced of the overall connection between all entities and beings ” – Hugo Ball, father of Dada
” Dada is essentially the search for a new morality ” – Richard Heulsenbeck, Dada’s co-founder
