ABSURDITY - In Dada We Trust ART Exhibition
When the world goes mad, the arts go Dada.
Racism and extremist nationalism are empowered, and bullies are applauded. Women’s rights are being set back by 50 years, and the LGBTQ community is dangling by a thread as individual rights are regulated but assault weapons are not. Social media has hijacked news and the term “alternate set of facts” has become the norm, no longer just the brunt of jokes. The world is witnessing a new level of insanity.
For artists, it’s a clear call to look to the past for guidance and take a stand. How? In a word: Dadaism. Created as a reaction to the absurdity of war and the propaganda of WWI, Dadaism was the reaction of a group of artists from another time in history when the world was on the brink of madness. That is why The Art Center Highland Park, Stola Gallery, and Chicago Women’s Caucus for Art are building a coalition to fight back against the current trend toward insanity. How this collaboration is happening is by combining our efforts to invite as many other art institutions, theatre companies, filmmakers, dance companies, writers, musicians, and creatives to participate in our communal movement/exhibit
Absurdity: In Dada We Trust.
Opening: Sat, June 24th, 2023. 5-8PM
Stola Contemporary Art, 3738 West Irving Park Road, Chicago

20/20 Vision: From the Artist's Perspective
