DADA is more than just a gallery.
DADA consolidates and streamlines all the tools visual artists need to easily manage their portfolios, share their creative vision and connect with clients and collaborators through their trusted networks.
ΜΑΝΙΦΕΣΤΟ/MANIFESTO
DADA is POWER TO THE ARTISTS!
We believe that artists have the potential to effect positive change in the world through art.
But to do so, artists need to thrive as individuals and as a community.
DADA was envisioned by an artist for artists, with the goal of creating a vibrant creative community where artists can share their individual visions and connect with each other for the common good.
DADA is much more than a showcase or a social network for artists. DADA is a space where artists can play, explore, inspire, get inspiration and organize themselves and other artists to gain more individual and collective power. DADA is free and fun.
DADA has many useful practical features which help artists easily manage their resources and contacts so they can have more time to create. DADA gives a voice and a space to all talented artists who need to reach an audience and make a buck. DADA encourages change by creating offsite activities about important issues where artists can create and give back to the community at large.
DADA’s aim is to create connected communities of talented people across many artistic disciplines. It will start with visual artists, but soon musicians, writers, architects, filmmakers will all have a home in DADA and will be able to enrich themselves with the contributions of their peers in every art form as well as their own.
Do you DADA?

Composition as Explanation
Galerie Edwynn Houk is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Victor Schrager (American, b. 1950) from the artist's ongoing series, Composition as Explanation. This is the artist's first exhibition in Zürich.
A master of still-life photography and widely revered for his images of birds and everyday objects, Victor Schrager embraces modernism while rethinking its components to create something new. Over the past twenty-five years, books have been a main element in Schrager’s photographs. In his ongoing project, Composition as Explanation, he has focused on the book itself, using its color and shape in a purely aestheticized context. Pages are not revealed, titles are not seen: the ultimate symbol of intellectual investigation has been reduced to form.
Using a very shallow depth of field, careful lighting and composition, Schrager produces partially abstracted images of luminous planes that meet sometimes sharp, descriptive edges. There is a mild and appealing irony in the way these bearers of very particular information turn into nondescript shapes, as well as in this dissolution of the predictably solid into vaporous fields of color. But it is precisely those same seductive colors and surfaces, those mysterious forms and spaces that belie the layers of meaning. “The books are as necessary and irrelevant as Morandi’s pitchers, Stieglitz’ clouds, Cezanne’s fruit, Weston’s peppers, or Penn’s frozen food,” writes Schrager. And further, “The real purpose in making these pictures is addressing the box of space that sits in front of me, and seeing if it is once again possible to pull a compelling picture out of it; again and again, until the activity transcends the environment in which it takes place. Everything is surrendered to the visual.”
A Harvard graduate, Victor Schrager is a recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship, the MacDowell Colony Resident Fellowship, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. His work has been featured in numerous one person and group exhibitions in the United States, Europe, and Japan. His photographs are in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Center for Creative Photography, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Polaroid International Collection, The International Center of Photography, and The San Francisco Museum of Art. He currently lives and works in New York City.
