"The artistic revolt of Dada, which arose in Zurich in the midst of the turmoil of the Great War in 1916, expressed a rejection of the traditional values ??of civilisation that had led to the disaster of that period. In this context, a re-evaluation of other systems of thought and creation took place, leading many avant-garde artists to consider and appropriate radically different types of artistic production. For the first time, and in cooperation with the Rietberg Museum in Zurich and the Berlinische Galerie, an exhibition was devoted to the confrontation of the Dadaists with the art and culture of non-European countries. The stagings of the "Soirées nègres" at the Cabaret Voltaire, appealing to all the senses and combining music, poetry and dance, attacked the very notion of art and called into question the artistic values ??that had prevailed until then. As early as 1917, the Coray Gallery in Zurich exhibited African objects side by side with Dadaist works. The same year, Tzara wrote his "Note sur l’art nègre", published in the journal SIC where he stated "from black let us draw light". The masks of Marcel Janco, the costumes of Sophie Taeuber-Arp, the collages of Hannah Höch or the collective works refusing the notion of author bear witness to this research for a new formal language. This multidisciplinary exhibition will allow us to confront non-Western works that are both African but also Amerindian or Asian with Dadaist productions, highlighting processes of exchange and appropriation by these artists. Dada paintings, sculptures, photocollages, photographs will be mixed with non-Western sculptures in games of resonances supported by the scenographic staging of the exhibition. The Parisian stage will also highlight the fertile ground pre-existing in the French capital for non-European arts and the way in which this was able to nourish the movement. Thus, the exhibition finds its place at the Musée de l’Orangerie, by highlighting the links between gallery owner Paul Guillaume and the actors gravitating around Dada and around African art at that time. The Orangerie stage will also open up on the importance that this subject could have had in the genesis of the links between the surrealist movement and non-Western arts".
