Dada's Grand Vacation at Centre Pompidou
The Centre Pompidou presents 'Les grandes vacances de Dada' from October 5, 2005 to January 9, 2006. The exhibition features over a thousand works including paintings, collages, sculptures, rare manuscripts from the Bibliothèques Jacques Doucet and Paul Destribats, and a selection of films such as René Clair and Francis Picabia's 'Entr'acte' and Marcel Duchamp's 'Anémic cinéma'.
