Breton into the future

As we all know well by now the price of dada has fallen to an all time low.  But even though it is now free it is still falling.  Artists have to beg people to take their work off their hands and then put it in other hands who can then transfer it to hands that are very clever so to speak and finally make money from nothing.


Of course there have been these dadaists forever looking at the invention of the toothbrush.  What can I say that could alter this fact?  Nothing else except yes or no. The same really.


stop.




It is impossible for me to conceive of a joy of the spirit otherwise than as a breath of air.  How can it be at its ease within the limits imposed on it by almost all books, almost all events?  -Andre Breton


When will the arbitrary be granted the place it deserves in the formation of works and ideas?  What touches us is generally less intentional than we believe.  A happy formula, a sensational discovery make their appearance in the most miserable form.  Almost nothing attains its goal, although here and there something overshoots it. -Andre Breton
