Dada • 1913 • III
The International Exposition of Modern Art (aka the Armory Show) is held in New York. Nude Descending a Staircase by Duchamp creates a public sensation. Theodore Roosevelt labels the Futurist and Cubist artists in the exhibition "the lunatic fringe."
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
