Dada Here & Now Visual Arts Symposium Part 1: Dada Cinema
Presenters Tom Dunn and Christopher Squier discuss the Dadaist use of film and video that utilize a variety of approaches which embrace the absurd and irrational as a means to question or challenge established social values, practices and hierarchies. Some of the video art in this group refers to Dada directly whereas other work is informed by its various methodologies within a contemporary context.
This program is part of Dada Here & Now, celebrating 100 years of Dada at Fort Mason May 19 Jun 5 as part of the 2016 SF International Arts Festival www.sfiaf.org

Dada (1967, B+W)Directed by Greta Deses
Arp declared: Tzara invented the word. . . on February the 6th 1916 at 18:00 hrs. I was there with my twelve children when Tzara pronounced the word for the first time. It was at the cafe de la Terrasse in Zurich and I had a bun in my left nostril.
This brilliant (and rare) film celebrates 50 years of Dadaist art and cinema, featuring a discussion about the history and influence of Dadaism from leading German, French and English exponents including live appearances by Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Hans Richter, all considered some of the most influential and important artists of the 20th century. The film is peppered with film clips and examples of their works including a reenactment of a Cabaret Voltaire performance with Dadaist Jean Arp playing piano. A bizarre and brilliant documentary rarely seen since its premiere at the 1967 Cannes Film Festival.
8 9pm Discussion led by Tom Dunn http://www.tomdunn.com.au/about/ with Christopher Squier http://christophersquier.com/about/
