concept
The DADA concept of an unpredictable night of entertainment, art, art making, printing, dress-up, mor art making, mor entertainment as part of the FLOMM movement just sort of happened. Like everything else that is FLOMM. Inspired by history …
In stories of Berlin Cabaret,
the salons of the DADAists (this book irreverently explains how to do DADA),
unexpected evenings in NY as part of the great PERFORMA series,
and
LOCALLY in the incredible ARTHOTEL and ARTSTREET that changed the SACRAMENTO creative landscape forever!
So that’s WAT 423 is. A hands-on an evening party where participants can EXPERIENCE and CREATE ART using a few supplied materials. A night of FLOMM.
