Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. Dada in Zürich, Switzerland, began in 1916 at Cabaret Voltaire, spreading to Berlin shortly thereafter, but the height of New York Dada was the year before, in 1915.The term anti-art, a precursor to Dada, was coined by Marcel Duchamp around 1913 when he created his first readymade Barcodes.  Yes, Duchamp was ahead of his time.

Thank you Katerina.  What a wonderful homage for May Day.
