Dada • 1923 • II
Kurt Schwitters begins work on his first Merzbau in Hanover, transforming his family home into an immersive and collaborative installation. It is destroyed in 1943 by the Allied bombardments of WWII.
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.
