“In a way, the exhibition title is a bit tricky, because one is potentially locked into it as an idea, but it’s ultimately a starting point for an enquiry that becomes discursive. It harkens back to questions about the significance of Dada in contemporary art practice. It seems to continually return as a point of enquiry, as is evident among even more recent artworks that demonstrate an interest in it.”
– Roger van Wyk
