Dada Charms

Originally Dadaism (Dada) was an art movement of a Europe based artist group in the early 2oth century. The original formation of activists only lasted from 1916 until 1922.

It´s art genres stretched from performing arts to poetry, photography, sculpturing, painting, and bricolage. The founders were very sensitive to the madness of death, hate and desertedness that the first world war created in the minds and hearts of a whole generation.

 

The invincible daring strengths of Dada are about:

- unconstrained by reasoning and logic;

- relentless self-irony;

- fearless of people in power and power structures.

 

What is DADA Charms?

 

The DADA world view invites us to be very touchy in the face of thought and action doctrines. The DADA reference in the business world keeps us alert against self-regarding, grumpy and autocratic attitudes. DADA becomes charming if we connect to its sometimes child-like, sometimes messing, sometimes convulsing forces with love.
