As the inaugural show of the ARTPROJX SPACE, ARTPROJX are pleased to present Dadadandy Boutique, a new installation by Dadadandy. Featuring regular collaborators as well as new names, Dadadandy Boutique will include artists’ works, editions and products by 19 artists. Between a gentleman’s sitting room, a fluxus shop and a dada installation. The Boutique will include Dadadandy’s ongoing series of artist’s editions in the spirit of Marcel Duchamp’s Boîte en Valise and George Maciunas’ Fluxus boxes, alongside original works, publications and products.
“Hybridizing the irreverent Dadaist spirit with an experimental attitude of the fluxus mould, together with an eccentric and refined taste typically Dandy, you have Dadadandy.”
Caroline Corbetta, Vogue Italia, Summer 2006
DADADANDY BIO
Dadadandy was born out of a collaboration between artist-curators Simon Moretti and Paul Heber-Percy. Dadadandy is an artwork, an artist and a curatorial project and was launched at Art|37|Basel June 2006.
The name dadadandy was inspired by a collage by Hannah Hoch, Da-Dandy, 1919.
Combining the irreverent spirit of Dada along with the experimental attitude of Fluxus, Dadadandy functions as an umbrella for many curatorial activities including the conception, production and presentation of new works by artists as well as providing a forum for collaboration, exchange and discussion filtered through the website www.dadadandy.com.
The first project by Dadadandy was to produce 10 editions by artists including Goshka Macuga, John Armleder, Mai-Thu Perret, Simon Moretti, Jonathan Monk and Piero Golia, the editions are presented in the form of artists' instructions, or kits, in the spirit of DADA and in the mood of Fluxus boxes and Hans Ulrich Obrist’s project 'Do It.
Recent projects have included the Dadadandy Pavilion (in a parked limousine) outside the Frieze Art Fair and the Guerrilla Show, a collaboration with Vedovamazzei presenting an off-side exhibition of Dadadandy memorabilia and related works within their show at Museo Madre, Napoli, Jan 2007. Space is the Place at Ritter Zamet, Dec 2006 was the first solo presentation in London of the editions. Le Palais Des Etoiles, was a series of interventions commissioned by Selfridges, London in collaboration with The Victoria & Albert Museum on the occasion of the Surreal Things exhibition. These collaborations included an immense inflatable sculpture on Oxford Street by Simon Moretti, a performance event in Selfridges in collaboration with Goshka Macuga, Boudicca and Laban Dance Centre, and surrealist poetry, selected by Dadadandy, printed on 35,000 till receipts per day throughout Selfridges, changing weekly, for the duration of the project.
