Gaga for Dada: The Original Art Rebels

To mark the 100th anniversary of Dada, Jim Moir takes us on an irreverent trip into the world of the influential avant-garde art movement. Absurd, provocative and subversive, Dada began as a response to the madness of World War I. But its radical way of looking at the world inspired generations of artists, writers and musicians, from Monty Python to punk, Bowie to Banksy. Jim restages an early Dada performance in Zurich's Cabaret Voltaire, where the movement began.
