From left to right: Hausmann, Hanna Höch, Dr Burchard, Baader, W. Hetzfelde, the wife, Dr. Oz, George Grosz, John Heartfield at The International Dada Fair of 1920.

The central symbol here is perhaps the effigy of a German soldier with a pig's head hanging from the ceiling.

DADA BAR - Sheffield

So it's 2014, almost 100 years of DADA now fully assimilated into modern culture but still with the capacity to inspire from under to overground.

Here's the Dada Bar in Sheffield, the City that also brought us the Dada inspired electronic music giants Cabaret Voltaire who are to play their first gig in twenty years in August 2014 at Berlin Atonal

It's on Trippet Lane and run by Thornbridge Brewery - go get a beer!

WITH THIS RING - New Parks Poetry Machine 2014

green tea beats big fight club's ex-girlfriend 

old flame makes me feel like a husband 

and then puts probes in their brains

with this ring our boys they cut holes through their skulls

what do perfect way to mend a replay?

perfect broken hart horror

so good.. son charged in car boot

TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM - Tristan Tzara

To Make A Dadaist Poem

Take a newspaper.

Take some scissors.

Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make your poem.

Cut out the article.

Next carefully cut out each of the words that make up this article and

put them all in a bag.

Shake gently.

Next take out each cutting one after the other.

Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.

The poem will resemble you.

And there you are — an infinitely original author of charming sensibility

even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd.

Tristan Tzara
