Paris



Featuring Paris The official start of Dada in Paris is generally tied to the arrival, in 1920, of a handful of the leading proponents of the movement: Tristan Tzara and Hans Arp from Zurich, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp from New York, Max Ernst from Cologne.
‘Twenty-three Manifestos of the Dada Movement’ These manifestos were read: At the Salon des Independants (Grand Palais des Champs Elysees) 5 February 1920; At the Club du Faubourg, 6, rue de; Puteaux 7 February 1920; At the Universite Populaire of Faubourg Saint-Antoine 19 February 1920. The order in which they are published was drawn by lot.
Tristan Tzara: How to make a dadaist poem 
Phillipe Soupault: Hotels At midnight you will see the windows still open and the doors closed. The music comes out of all the holes where dying germs and capital verses can be seen. But further on, ever on, there are still cries so blue that one dies of emotion.
William Burroughs: The Cut Up Method In writing this chapter I have used what I call “the fold in” method that is I place a page of one text folded down the middle on a page of another text (my own or someone else’s) – The composite text is read across half from one text and half from the other – The resulting material is edited, re-arranged, and deleted as in any other form of composition –
Yves Bonnefoy: On Paul Celan Speak, But don't split the yes from the no. Paul Celan
