Kunstradio – Art’s Birthday 2006: TransDADAexpress live in and from Vienna

Raoul Hausmann
The Spirit of our Time
(1921)

Just 90 years ago, on 5 February 1916, the Cabaret Voltaire opened in Zurich. It became a birthplace of DADA and of the Ars Acustica, too. While the First World War destroyed human beings and their values, artists and writers from different countries met in Zurich and created the first multilingual avant-garde movement, which actually worked thanks to international networking. Like today’s Ars Acustica network Dadaism was international from its very beginnings and spread out over the world – building centres and epicentres by creating events in New York, Paris, Geneva, Berlin, Cologne, Hanover, Zagreb, Barcelona, Holland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia, Romania, Hungary, Italy, and South America. Richard Huelsenbeck, one of its founding members, noted: “The word Dada in itself indicates the internationalism of the movement which is bound to no frontiers, religions or professions”.

Birthday live on site in the ORF Kulturcafe in Vienna. From 20.30 to 22.00 and from 23.05 to midnight Art’s Birthday Party will also be broadcast live on OE1, the cultural channel of the ORF (Austrian National Radio). The party will also be streamed live on-line at http://kunstradio.at where a special project-site will feature links to the streams of participants in Europe and around the world.

Art’s birthday” is an annual event first proposed in 1963 by French artist Robert Filliou.

He suggested that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art. But one day, on the 17th of January to be precise, Art was born. According to Filliou, it happened when someone dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Modest beginnings, but look at us now.

Filliou proposed a public holiday to celebrate the presence of art in our lives. In recent years, the idea has been taken up by a loose network of artists and friends around the world. Each year the Eternal Network evolves to include new partners – working with the ideas of exchange and telecommunications-art.”
