Dada als politische Kunst zwischen den Weltkriegen

Rund 100 Gäste kamen am 9. Mai zur Eröffnung der Dada-Schau „Sperren Sie endlich Ihren Kopf auf!“ Dada als politische Kunst zwischen den Weltkriegen ins Zentrum für verfolgte Künste. Kuratorin Dr. Katharina Günther präsentierte die vielfältigen Werke der Dada-Künstler:innen, die auch nach dem Ende der Bewegung künstlerisch und politisch aktiv blieben und während der NS-Zeit in Deutschland als „entartet“ diffamiert wurden.

Es sprachen

  • Dr. Jürgen Kaumkötter, Direktor des Zentrums für verfolgte Künste
  • Sebastian Haug, Mitglied des Landtags Nordrhein-Westfalen
  • Prof. Dr. Jürgen Wilhelm, stellvertretender Vorsitzender der Landschaftsversammlung Rheinland
  • Dr. Katharina Günther, Kuratorin des Zentrums für verfolgte Künste

Anwesend waren zahlreiche Leihgeber:innen und Autorinnen sowie der Enkel von „Oberdada“ Johannes Baader, Dieter Baader mit seiner Tochter.

Die Ausstellung ist bis zum 13. September 2026 zu sehen. Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein zweisprachiger Katalog im Hirmer-Verlag. Mit Essays von Katharina Günther, Hanne Bergius, Lucy Byford, Agathe Mareuge und „Let’s do it a Dada“ von Jürgen Joseph Kaumkötter.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
