"Day de Dada" was started by local artist Vivian Vassar (known as
Hey Viv ! ) in Staten Island in 2002
after an inspiring visit to Café Voltaire in Zurich, a site of early
20th century Dada art.
The original "Day de Dada" was planned as a one day event to showcase
performance art on Staten Island.
Since this first show in 2002, "Day de Dada" has grown to include
spontaneous and experimental performance art,
installations, video, film, music, noise and interactive events that take place
throughout the year.
Shows have included artists of all ages and backgrounds from Staten Island,
the Tri State area and internationally.
The April 12th event is part of the Unitarian Church of Staten Island 2008 Arts Festival.
