DADA At Tate Modern
Announcing our biggest live drawing performance yet
DADA at Late at Tate
Tate Modern, London.
Blavatnik Building, Level 6.
Friday, November 29, 2019
From 3 pm to 10 pm.
DADA will stage an interactive live art performance inspired by the Nam June Paik retrospective at the Tate Modern in London.
We'll create a visual conversation with the theme: The History of Screens: An Exploration.
Visualization of the live drawing performance
Our founder, artist Beatriz Ramos, local artist @OpheliaFu and DADA artist Ilan Katin will be on hand onsite to lead the live drawing with the audience. 13 artists will lead the online performance live in a video streaming and share their screens from wherever they are in the world. Throughout the evening, 7 DADA artists will act as the hosts and respond directly to the audience’s drawings.
Everybody is invited to join in the drawing at dada.art from 6 pm to 10 pm, London time.
The Curators
The artists were selected by our art advisors Jason Bailey from Artnome and Anne Bracegirdle formerly from Christie's, and Serena Tabacchi of Tate Modern and MOCDA.

In Anne's words:
"We want people to be impressed by the caliber of work and realize the commercial nature is equal to that of 'traditional' contemporary art they're accustomed to viewing. Highlighting the global, inclusive, diverse elements of DADA is important".
Serena Tabacchi:
Since I am well familiar with the Tate collection, my selection reflects the art in the gallery with similar work on display as well as work that has never been seen at Tate before, which I assume will provoke good thoughts and conversations in the room.
The Event
Art by @creadoorm and Cromomaníaco
DADA will be part of a program called Random Access, which will also feature a panel discussing ART TECH FUTURES in conversation with Global Roots and our good friends from MoCDA at 6:45 pm.
