53: In Dada still relevant for the 21st century?
The 7-Year Itch


Mixed media on paper
12 x 17.25 inches

Collaborative performance with Charlie Fox, for Janus at Cafe Gallery Projects, 04/02/06.

An advance commemoration of Dada’s 90th birthday (the first Cabaret Voltaire evening, Zurich, 5/2/1916). In accordance with Richard Huelsenbeck’s instructions for a Dada poem, Charlie Fox and I cut up a random newspaper text of the day. Visitors pull word after word out of a hat. I write the re-mixed text on clear polythene covering the gallery’s glass door. A group reading concludes procedures.
