Art Is Our Only Salvation From the Horror of Existence Quote
Dadaism, this art movement borned in the middle of World War I, changed completely the direction and purpose of art, in a new way never seen until and so.
It was war itself and its consequences that caused most of the artist to migrate in Zurich, making Zurich the primary metropolis where artist from all the world would gather.
The revolution of Dada was born every bit a rebellious movement confronting absurdity of war and as the hope for freedom.
Every bit condratictory as this may sound, therefore Dadaists didn't "preach" peace, but … war itself.
Effectually 14th July of 1916, the poet Hugo Ball declared The Dada – Manifesto.
Ball and his friends used to meet up and gather at a guild in Zurich which he opened with his future wife Emmy Hennings.
"Dada is a new tendency in art. I can tell this from the fact that until now nobody knew annihilation about it, and tomorrow everyone in Zurich will be talking most it. Dada comes from the dictionary. It is terribly uncomplicated. In French information technology means "hobby horse". In German it ways "good-bye", "Become off my back", "Be seeing you sometime". In Romanian: "Yes, indeed, you lot are right, that's it. Merely of course, yes, definitely, correct". And then forth."
-Hugo Ball
Except people that were living in Zurich, non many know that the Dada movement is really formed at that place, in the middle of the quondam city of Zurich. The grouping was created in Spiegelgasse 1, in the neighborhood of Niederdofli.
In this legendary Cabaret Voltaire, came to life this ironic, loud, diverse motion which soon would conquer the world.
Master figures of this movement were Hugo Ball, Emmy Hennings, Hans Arp, Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Höch, Johannes Baader, Tristan Tzara, Francis Picabia, Richard Huelsenbeck, George Grosz, John Heartfield, Marcel Duchamp, Beatrice Wood, Kurt Schwitters, Hans Richter, Max Ernst, etc.
Dadaist performances offered a multifariousness of explosions in poetry (words with non a certain meaning, like a collage of words), music (music released in class of declarations in which messages got cannibalised by the applesauce of language, political theatre.
So if Dada was in eye a protest against European model of life based on war, besides appear itself equally an Anti-Fine art.
Dadaists, as they called themselves, experimented in sound verse, collages, photomontages. From their base in Zurich they conquered the world – Berlin – Paris and New York with their humour and irony.
Dadaism destroyed the heritage of 19 century, unraveled the borders and limits in between arts, reduced and vanished the gap in between genres and united the public concept with private, fine art and politic, mode and fine art, etc.
With Dadaism the figure of the Female artist, as a phenomenon, grew stronger, in an fine art stage conquered by men until so.
So Dada tin exist treated not only as shortlifed creative and cultural motility just also as a mondus operandi, because Dadaism was anti-comformism, anti-authorization, anti-traditionalism, anti-capitalism, anti-monopolism, anti-war, anti-logic, anti-normality, and even anti-dada itself. Therefore after, confusing the whole globe, Dadaism left the stage by living but around 8 years, as long as information technology is the immortality for an fine art movement.
In September, the city were I was built-in and lived until now, Tirana, becomes Dada. From 26th until 30th of September a cultural organization called "Poeteka" with the support of "Tirana Municipality" and Europian Union of Literature and "Traduki" books, with the collaboration of the installation of "Reja" (Cloud), organizes the "DadaEast/Dadaism Days" festival.

Non only its birth place Zurich where Dadaism roots vest, or the principal places where Dadaism found infinite to develop like Paris, Berlin, New York etc, but also Tirana becomes Dada, to remind the strong touch on this movement too had in SouthEastern Europe and Eastern Europe.
This Festival in Tirana Festivali aims to include the city in its programme, people, institutions, as well aims to combine everyday life with art, culture and living, to inspire communication in between arts in plazas, bars, parks, etc.
"The idea is non to create a formal gathering or consequence with other European cities which are also celebrating this anniversary, but also to brand information technology evident the contribute of Eastern Europe in this motility" – Arjan, told us.
