Gaga for Dada by Susanne Forestieri. Las Vegas Weekly

Bringing the absurdist tradition into the present... 
Selections from Dada Motel commemorates an installation and performance-art event in Reno’s historic Hotel El Cortez held last summer. Because much of the work in Selections uses digital media and contemporary styles, the show’s curator, Chad Sorg, says this exhibit has almost nothing to do with the original Dada movement. However, the show may be more Dadaesque than Sorg suspects, at least if you define Dada as a state of mind rather than a style.
