Reviews

"Dadaglobe Reconstructed . . . is an incredible feat of curatorship and research. . . . The show's generously annotated catalog is the first-ever edition of Dadaglobe, nearly a century after Tzara proposed what he referred to as 'The Greatest Standard Work in the World.'"
-- "Wall Street Journal" (8/8/2016 12:00:00 AM)

"A compelling display. . . . The history of Dada has been opened out to a new story, one where Dada has been released from its accepted position in a chain of 'movements' comprised of canonical objects, and even from its previously accepted geographical boundaries. Instead, Dadaglobe Reconstructed makes it far more clearly visible as a strategy, an activity, or even a mentality, speaking across time and place."-- "Burlington" (8/8/2016 12:00:00 AM)

"A rigorous yet sparky exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, which brings together the portraits, drawings and collages Tzara commissioned for Dadaglobe, plus a few paintings and sculptures by some of its leading adherents and sympathizers: Marcel Duchamp, Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Constantin Brancusi. Enjoyable as the exhibition is--the photographs, correspondence and publishing ephemera will be catnip to Dada freaks and magazine geeks--its catalog may be the more important accomplishment. Assiduously edited by Sudhalter, it features a full reconstruction of this magazine that never was, full of puns, poems and Duchamp's chess notations, assembled with diligence and guesswork over 160 pages. It's a substantial contribution to the history of interwar art."
-- "New York Times" (8/8/2016 12:00:00 AM)
