Dada belongs to the malcontents

The attempt to reimagine Dada as a movement that was comfortable with the art establishment is jaw-dropping. Imagine Marcel Duchamp lecturing you about skill. Imagine Hannah Höch deriding you about work being derivative. That's what this is.

Berlin makes the ownership of Dada explicitly clear. It is the inheritance of the malcontents of the art world. That's us.
