DADA ist 100
Marc Berger/ Edition Schwarzdruk (DE) is doing a great job organising the 'Dada ist 100’, an exhibition celebrating 100 years of Dada movement. More than 50 letterpress printers (and yours truly) from 10 countries will be taking part in this unique event and are currently working hard on their contributions.
The exhibition will take place in Gransee (DE) on 4th of June and will then be travelling to venues in Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and the USA. There is a crowdfunding campaign just started to fund a catalogue for this touring exhibition, so feel free to take a look at it, support it, receive your rewards (some nice things out there!) and help it happen! Thanks!
