what is the dada movement
Dada (/ËdÉËdÉË/) or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. Dada in ZÃ¼rich, Switzerland, began in 1916 at Cabaret Voltaire, spreading to Berlin shortly thereafter, but the height of New York Dada was the year before, in 1915. The term anti-art, a precursor to Dada, was coined by Marcel Duchamp around 1913 when he created his first readymades. Dada, in addition to being anti-war, had political affinities with the radical left and was also anti-bourgeois.
