Dada/Fluxus

Dada belongs to everybody. Like the idea of God or the toothbrush ... Dada existed before us (the Holy Virgin) but one cannot deny its magical power to add to this already existing spirit.

-Tristan Tzara, "Authorization, New York Dada," New York, 1921.

Long, long ago, back when the world was young ... Fluxus was like a baby whose mother and father couldn't agree on what to call it ... Fluxus has a life of its own ... When you grow up, do you want to be a part of Fluxus? I do.

-Dick Higgins, "A Child's History of Fluxus," New York, 1979.
