Catalogue Note
"Il Dada ci ha insegnato un monosillabo: 'no', parola responsabile di tutti i progressi dell'umanità. In un paese come il nostro dove tutto è in mano a una sola persona e c'è un lavaggio del cervello mediatico quotidiano bisogna saper dire di no e ragionare con la propria testa." Arturo Schwarz
