Global Art • 1972
Prolific and influential pop group Cabaret Voltaire form in Sheffield, named after the Zürich venue. Their earliest performances were Dada-influenced performance art, but they later develop a hybrid style of pop, dance, techno, dub house and experimental electronic music.
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.
