Xiamen Dada

Xiamen Dada

Xiamen Dada was a Chinese artist group based in Xiamen, a city on China’s southeast coast. Emerging in the 1980s, the group explored the relationship between Chan Buddhism and European Dada, embracing absurdity and the use of chance in the creation of their artworks. Xiamen Dada sought to challenge conventional artistic norms, blending Eastern philosophy with the avant-garde practices of Dada, and became known for their provocative and unconventional approach to art.
