Dada • 1918 • III
In Berlin, Richard Huelsenbeck presents his First Dada Speech in Germany during a soirée in Berlin. A newspaper review mockingly titled 'O Burrubuh hibi o burruhbuh hihi o hojojojolodomodoho' provides the first public announcement of the formation of Club Dada.
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.
