Abstract

Apart from the notorious brouhaha it caused on the European art scene of the time, the Dada movement aimed also at bringing to life non-European forms of artistic expression. The Dadaists understood shape, material, sound, and movement as equally valid means of cultural manifestation. This aspect of one of the 20th century's most influential artistic movements has been largely ignored so far by scholars and connoisseurs alike. Zürich's Museum Rietberg is home to a vast collection of African art gathered by Han Coray, a Zürich-based patron of the arts and collector who also staged Dada shows in his gallery in Zürich in 1917. Works by Dada artists also constitute a key part of Berlinische Galerie's permanent collection. Published in conjunction with exhibitions at the two museums in spring and summer 2016, this new book for the first time closely examines the Dadaists' exploration of non-European art and culture. Richly illustrated essays shed light on the cultural background of artifacts from Africa, Asia, and Oceania from an ethnological perspective. Other contributions investigate how Dada is reflected in the post-colonial discourse and understood in the context of culture transfer. The book features work by Jean Arp, Hugo Ball, Johannes Baader, George Grosz, Raoul Hausmann, Erich Heckel, John Heartfield, Hannah Höch, Richard Huelsenbeck, Marcel Janco, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Rudolf Schlichter, Man Ray, Hans Richter, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Tristan Tzara, as well as by unidentified artists from Africa, Oceania, and Asia. Exhibition: Museum Rietberg, Zürich, Switzerland (18.03.-17.07.2016) / Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, Germany (05.08.-07.11.2016).

Abstract

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is world famous today for its vibrant art scene. Its multifaceted, creative, and current art production is unlike any other on the african continent. But the country already brought forth striking masks, sculptures, and pieces of design in times past. Published to coincide with the exhibition at Museum Rietberg, "Congo as fiction" presents objects, photographs, and documents - some never published before - from the archive of german art ethnologist Hans Himmelheber, who traveled the Congo in 1938/39. The artworks and images bear witness to the extraordinary creative force of the period. "Congo as fiction" avoids a biased eurocentric view by having contemporary congolese artists engage directly with Hans Himmelheber's archive. Their critical contributions address the effects of colonialization, global trade, and the art market on the country, and combine the past and present of the congolese art world in an entirely new way.

Abstract

La révolte artistique Dada qui naît à Zurich au cœur de la tourmente de la Grande Guerre en 1916 exprime un rejet des valeurs traditionnelles de la civilisation qui auraient conduit au désastre de cette période. Dans ce cadre, une réévaluation d'autres systèmes de pensée et de création s'opère et conduit de nombreux artistes d'avant-garde à se pencher et à s'approprier des types de productions artistiques radicalement autres.Pour la première fois, et en coopération avec le Musée Rietberg de Zurich et la Berlinische Galerie, une exposition est consacrée à la confrontation des dadaïstes avec l'art et la culture de pays extra-européens. Les mises en scène des 'Soirées nègres' au Cabaret Voltaire, faisant appel à tous les sens, associant musique, poésie et danse, s'attaquent à la notion même de l'art et remettent en cause les valeurs artistiques ayant cours jusqu'alors. Dès 1917, la galerie Coray à Zurich expose côte à côte des objets africains avec des œuvres dadaïstes. La même année, Tzara écrit sa 'Note sur l'art nègre', publiée dans la revue SIC où il affirmait "du noir puisons la lumière". Les masques de Marcel Janco, les costumes de Sophie Taeuber-Arp, les collages de Hannah Höch ou encore les œuvres collectives refusant la notion d'auteur témoignent de ces recherches pour un nouveau langage formel.
