Global Art • 1959 • I
In Japan, Ahusaku Arakawa, Genpei Akasegawa and nine artists form the Neo-Dada Organisers. The group performs in various locations until 1961.
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.
