Channel: San Francisco Public Library
Date: 2016-11-15

Opening presentation by Peter Maravelis at the Bastard Children of Dada discussion in the San Francisco Main Library.
"A discussion with Emily Hage, John Law, Winston Smith, Kal Spelletich, and V. Vale, moderated by Peter Maravelis (City Lights) 
Dada’s influence upon the 20th century avant-garde has been immeasurable. Its political and aesthetic stance, as well as its confrontational approach to the art world and bourgeois sensibilities, has spread widely amongst artists, musicians, writers, poets, and performers. From the Beat Generation to Punk and beyond, Dada’s "bastard children" are with us to this day.  Five voices that are firmly embedded in the theory, history, and practice of the avante garde will explore the artistic movements that followed Dada into the 21st century.
Bastard Children of Dada is presented in conjunction with Dada World Fair, City Lights Bookstore's centennial celebration of Dada."
