DADALENIN IS DEAD - OBITUARIES

This performance consists of simply me reading the obituaries of dadaleninists as printed by the New York Times over the last century. Obituaries are a special kind of literature that can teach us quite a bit. in the case of the original dadaists we get for each member a slightly different version of art history. The absurd nature of this reading is partially already reflected in the obituaries themselves when we learn , for ex. the dadaists were reading simply from phone books.

For me these obituaries are important historical documents in the reception of this important art movement - needless to say the older people became the longer the obituaries. Early important figures didn't get any write ups.

This work is part of my dadalenin series (www.dadalenin.com) that is based on the fact that Lenin was some kind of a participating member in disguise of dada in zurich, at the cabaret voltiaire, where he lived on the opposite side of the street. dada as well as lenin were dealing with death. art is dead.... etc... lenin's endless sleep at the red square consitutes an endless well paying performance I alwasy like to visit when in Moscow.
