Scope and Contents In the words of David A. Ross, director of the Whitney Museum, "This exhibition proposes that as important as Dada was to the growth of American modernism, the ferment of New York played an equally critical role in the continuing evolution of Dada itself." He points out that even though Dada evolved in Zurich and Berlin, few immigrant notions were more quickly or deeply absorbed into American culture, because "American art, like America itself in the beginning of the century, was experiencing an analogous social, intellectual, and moral transformation, and the spirit and purpose of Dada provided a much needed catalyst." The Dada activity in New York centered around the Arensbergs, Duchamp, Picabia and Man Ray. When asked to define Dada, Man Ray echoed the words of Tristan Tzara and said that Dada was a state of mind. Unlike the artists in Europe, the Dadists in New York were driven by a conscious sense of irony, amusement, and genuine sense of humor. Selected chapters of this...

Scope and Contents The exhibition that accompanied this catalogue was curated by Whitney Chadwick, Katy Kline and Helaine Posner. The catalogue was edited by Whitney Chadwick. In her opening essay, "An Infinite Play of Empty Mirrors; Women, Surrealism, and Self-Realization," Chadwick writes that the rediscovery of Claude Cahun in the early 1980s is accompanied with a critical rereading of historical Surrealism. "The neatness with which Cahun's photographs have been annexed to post modern concerns with the decentered subject and with identity as contingent and mutable has obscured the complexity and contradictions of her writings and blinded many to the works' representations of conflicted identities." Katy Kline contributes an essay, "In or Out of the Picture: Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman." She analyses the differences between the two artists and how they each participated in the Surrealist belief system. Kline notes that Cahun was one of few women close to the original Surrealist group and...

Each viewer is invited to 'edit' the book by experimenting with various arrangements of the sheets in the box. Paolozzi was concerned in this book between the relationship of Kitsch to technology.
