Description

'Die Dada La Dada She Dada', curated by Ina Boesch and Nadine Schneider, is the first exhibition ever to be devoted to Dada's Women. It features five artists and writers: Sophie Taeuber-Arp (Zurich), Hannah Höch (Berlin), Céline Arnauld (Paris), Angelika Hoerle (Cologne) and The Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (New York). It also showcases the work of five contemporary women artists who were commissioned to create video installations as 'dialogues' with each of the five Dada women. Their names are: Anka Schmid, Judith Albert, Anne-Julie Raccoursier, Chantal Romani and Elodie Pong. The exhibition runs 25 October 2014 - 18 January 2015 at the Forum Schlossplatz in Aarau, near Zurich, following which it will transfer to two more locations in Switzerland.

I was invited to give a public tour of the exhibition in dialogue with one of the curators, Ina Boesch, on the weekend of its opening.
