Created for the Dadabloge Project sponsored by Mobius Artists Group, Boston, MA. The project is an homage to Tristian Tzara's Dadaglobe which was slated to be published in 1921 but cancelled due to financial and organizational difficulties. Dadaglobe was an anthology of the Dada art movement with its primary intent to be a snapshot of Dada's expanding incarnation.

The Dadabloge Project runs thru the month of June 2018.

An international art exhibit presented by the Ontological Museum / International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Dada art movement.

In addition, the exhibition is also a tribute to Kurt Schwitters - an early proponent of Dada. Schwitters is recognized as a collage artist who early on used found object materials in his collages and dimensional "Merz" artworks. His work has had a major influence on many 20th/21st century artists, most notable being Robert Rauschenberg. 



"Dada was the first conceptual art movement where the focus of the artists was not on crafting aesthetically pleasing objects but on making works that often upended bourgeois sensibilities and that generated difficult questions about society, the role of the artist, and the purpose of art." 

"Dada artists are known for their use of readymade objects - everyday objects that could be bought and presented as art with little manipulation by the artist. The use of the readymade forced questions about artistic creativity and the very definition of art and its purpose in society."   theartstory.org
