In 1916 a group of young men and women came together in Zurich and changed the art world forever. Dada was born! With their inclinations for irreverence, social criticism, and nonsense, Dada artists invented performance art and a new visual language. They rejected the notion of the artist as genius, declaring that everyone could make art, and used found and commercial items in their works. Frauke V. Josenhans, the Horace W. Goldsmith Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, offers a glimpse of Dada and its different manifestations.
