Exhibition Label: "Machine in a Void: World War I & the Graphic Arts," Mar-2010, Steve Goddard This issue of DADA magazine, although published after the War, was something of an anthology of the group's activities in Zurich at the famous Cabaret Voltaire. During the war years neutral Switzerland was home to numerous political refugees including many artists and writers. The Dadaists channelled their revulsion at World War I into an indictment of the nationalist and materialist values that had brought it about. This issue was printed in Zurich shortly after the end of the War and at a time when the Dada Movement was emerging with renewed vigor in Berlin, Paris, Hannover, Cologne, and elsewhere. It includes original prints (predominently woodcuts) by Hans Arp, Viking Eggeling, Raoul Hausmann, Marcel Janco, and Hans Richter; and texts by Pierre Albert-Birot, Paul Aragon, Hans Arp, André Breton, Gabrielle Buffet, Jean Cocteau, Raoul Hausmann, Ferdinand Hardekopf, Richard Huelsenbeck, Francis Picabia, Raymond Radiguet, Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes, Hans Richter, Walter Serner, Philippe Soupault, and Tristan Tzara.
