International Dadaism Month is a month of celebrating the Dada movement.
On 27 December 2005, Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger of Lawrence, Kansas proclaimed International Dadaism month. However, in Dada spirit, Highberger did not select a specific month to celebrate Dada. Instead he proclaimed International Dada month as 4 February, 28 March, 1 April, 15 July, 2 August, 7 August, 16 August, 26 August, 18 September, 22 September, 1 October, 17 October, and 26 October. An aide to Highberger selected the dates by first rolling dice to determine the number of days, then pulling numbers corresponding to every day in the year (1-365) from a colorful top hat.
Among others, the POINT JAUNE museum in St. Gallen, Switzerland is a participant of Highberger's idea. It is celebrated by several residents of Athens, Georgia.
Famous quotes containing the word month:
“After a month or so I get used to the book’s final stage, to its having been weaned from my brain. I now regard it with a kind of amused tenderness as a man regards not his son, but the young wife of his son.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
