Curators Hanna Regev and Matt McKinley wish to thank all of our collaborators and co-conspirators who worked diligently and thoughtully to bring the spirit of Dada to Fort Mason for a celebration 100 years in the making. Embrace curiosity, explore and question everything, play with chance encounters, be silly, be thoughtful, push boundaries, and most of all keep Dada alive!

We'll figure out a way to be there for the 200th anniversary!!
