IVY LEAGUE DISTURBANCES AND SUBVERSIONS!!!
RUMBLINGS IN THE BELLY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!
OPEN CALL FOR ART, POSTERS, PROPAGANDA!
April 18 - May 8, Risley Hall
During the "Great War to End All Wars" of 1914-1919, a number of artists, writers, radicals, and intellectuals escaped the trenches and fled to Zurich, where they could seek shelter in Switzerland's neutrality.
There they established the DADA MOVEMENT, an art/theatre/literature purge of bourgeois culture and society, all that had led to the absurdly futile bloodletting of their era. This movement, which questioned and revoked just about everything sacred to art and "civilization" spread like wildfire throughout Europe and New York.
In 1920 the Berlin Dadaists held a momentous "Dada Fair", which featured political diatribes, fantastic paintings, cartoons, a stuffed policeman dangling piggily from the ceiling.To this day it evokes joy, laughter, and a recognition of the vitality of this sort of expression.
Here we are in 2008, once again engaged in an extraordinarily futile bloodbath, and once again feeling the impotence of conventional protest. What a perfect time to revive this festival of dissidence, this visual shockwave of irreverence, freedom of speech, and visual "weaponry".

New York Metro Anarchist Alliance Reading Group: "Chomsky on Anarchism"
Join in the upcoming discussions of the NYMAA Reading group!
Thursday, April 24, 6:30pm:
"Chomsky On Anarchism" by Noam Chomsky
"We all know what Noam Chomsky is against. But very little ever gets said about what exactly Chomsky stands for, his own personal politics, his vision of the future. Not, that is, until Chomsky on Anarchism, a groundbreaking new book that shows a different side of this best-selling author: the anarchist principles that have guided him since he was a teenager. This collection of Chomsky's essays and interviews includes numerous pieces that have never been published before, as well as rare material that first saw the light of day in hard-to-find pamphlets and anarchist periodicals. Taken together, they paint a fresh picture of Chomsky, showing his life-long involvement with the anarchist community, his constant commitment to nonhierarchical models of political organization, and his hopes for a future world without rulers." -AK Press
Some key articles collected in the book are available online:
