"This being the centennial of the DADA movement, 1916-2016, I have been inspired by the happenings that took place at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, Switzerland, the cafe where the artists and poets escaping the war that spread throughout Europe, would often meet leading to chaos. I see the shadow of that era falling over the times we live in now. I relive in the making of the books the creative times and artists that sought out a creative means to react and maintain some sanity."--Artist's statement
"Charlotte Moorman, the cellist, avant-gardist and performance artist ... was called 'The Jeanne d'Arc of New Music' by the composer Edgard Varese. Ms. Moorman was arrested on Feb. 9, 1967, by two policemen who interrupted her performance at the Cinematheque in Manhattan of 'Opera Sextronique' by Nam June Paik, a composer, video artist and performance artist. She was performing nude, as the score had dictated, before an audience of 200 invited guests. Although Mr. Paik was released from custody and not charged, Ms. Moorman was tried and convicted for partial nudity. Later, the sentence was suspended."--The New York Times, "A cellist in avant-garde works" (November 9, 1991), from: Vamp and Tramp website
