International Dadaism Month
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
International Dadaism Month is a month of celebrating the Dada movement.
On 27 December 2005, Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger of Lawrence, Kansas proclaimed International Dadaism month. However, in Dada spirit, Highberger did not select a specific month to celebrate Dada. Instead he proclaimed International Dada month as 4 February, 28 March, 1 April, 15 July, 2 August, 7 August, 16 August, 26 August, 18 September, 22 September, 1 October, 17 October, and 26 October. Highberger and Cypress Frankenfeld selected the dates by first rolling dice to determine the number of days, then pulling numbers corresponding to every day in the year (1-365) from a colorful top hat.
Among others, the POINT JAUNE museum in St. Gallen, Switzerland is a participant of Highberger's idea. It is celebrated by several residents of Athens, Georgia.
