DADA in Germany (Hannover) Kurt Schwitters and the MERZ

Kurt Schwitters Hannover Kendal (England). Started to study “applied arts” in Then studied abstract art at the Royal Art academy of Dresden until Worked as a draughtsman until conscripted in Return to civil life and study sculpture in Discover the concept of “Merz” a word play – truncation – on Komerz. A technique of recuperation that involves throwaway pieces that are the remnant of industrial products: a collage of pieces of natural and colored wood, tram tickets, stamps and other “poor” materials, together with some pictorial additions. He also produced poetic texts made up of fragments of words and phrases taken from the most banal everyday language or counterpointed by elementary sounds. Travel to Berlin in 1918 to meet with Arp (abstract art) and meet with the Dada. History has it that he was rejected by them as too esthetical.

Publishes Anna Blum in Dec and this brings him fame His Merz are part of a vanguard exhibit arranged by Katherine Dreier at the Société Anonyme (the first incorporation of the MoMa) in New York. He starts to have public recitals for his literary works Participates in the meeting DADA- Constructivist in Weimar. Forge long lasting links with constructivist para- Dada groups in Holland (Theovan Doesburg ) Russia (El Lissitsky ) and the Bauhaus movement in Weimar Creates the magazine Merz 1924 Publishes Nasci with El Lissitsky. Creates the Merz Werbe advertising agency Visit by Katherine Dreier. Interest in photography. Publishes the “Scherzo” of Ursonate.

«Huelsendadaism is oriented towards politics and against art and against culture. I am tolerant and allow every man his own view of the world, but I am compelled to state that such an outlook is alien to Merz. As a matter of principle, Merz aims only at art, because no man can serve two masters.»
