The exhibition is presented with a reference to the title “Cut with the Kitchen Knife through the Beer-Belly of the Weimar Republic”1919 by Hannah Höch, who is the most famous female artist of Dadaist art movement. This collage was critiquing the Weimar administration. Dada movement can be considered as the basic background of today’s contemporary art’s concepts and aesthetics. The Dadaist art movement was an interdisciplinary interaction and a collaboration tool, for all the artists and the intellectuals of the 1st WW era. We actually need to underline the fact that, it was an anti-war movement, between 1915-1923. Especially containing statements, which are against the public’s traditional understanding of war, which sanctifies war or perceiving it as inevitable. Because of these, produced with different content, shape and aesthetics, Dada as a movement, still continues to try answering the war status. Dada, appeared in the middle of the war in 1916 and was seen as a comprehensive manifest for the European spirit. Without having any certain answers, it was somehow satisfying for the people who were at the edge of Modernism, with all the pre-war questioning of the value of human being, both as an individual and social. The war, afterwards, left an emptiness, even wiping away all those satisfactions. Dada, aspired to also erase the left-over utopias, as if wanting to convulse all the social, ethical and aesthetical values. The most important example of these, was to convert art from being a national culture component, into a metropolis phenomenon, based on industrial society’s experimentalism.
