Extract

As befits a journal for art libraries I shall begin this opinion piece with Max Ernst's quote on exhibiting Dada: ‘What's the matter with everyone, wanting to make a museum piece out of Dada? Dada was a bomb…can you imagine anyone…wanting to collect the pieces, sticking it together and displaying it?’
