Long time no hear from the elusive Mr AA, but he surfaces here with a new Dada series beckoning, where the ” Dada Anachrosaur” { a new Anachronism / Dinosaur derived Dadaism ) poses in front of various archetypal British people and institutions; calling time on a weary, dreary, drab, dismal and often terminally corrupt and rigged old set-up ( still, God love the Queen & her doubtless well-meaning heart ) ;paving the way for the fresh stART in the arts and media – and in society in general – that the New Dadaists believe is inexorably destined for this downtrodden yet potentially great-again nation.
