Exposition Pravdada de Tanguy Samzun

"Pravdada" is an oxymoron that derives from *Pravda* ("truth"), a pro-Stalinist Soviet daily newspaper, and Dada, an international movement of artists and writers. Dada emerged out of a deep aversion to war, which was seen as the symbol of the collapse of civilizations, culture, and rationality. Terrorist, provocateur, iconoclast—rejecting all ideological, moral, or artistic constraints—the movement advocates confusion, absolute doubt, and celebrates the virtues of spontaneity, kindness, humor, and the joy of living. Dictators do not like humor, absurdity, or nonsense.

The exhibition is a rewriting of the history of art and cinema; we’re going to set the record straight—no more myths; let’s talk about “well-established facts,” unless they’re just tall tales or winter fairy tales?
