Thank you to all the artists who responded to the recent Mail Art Call for the “DADA DOMICILE” exhibit at the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Snug Harbor Cultural Center in Staten Island, NY. Special thanks to Mary Campbell for organizing the project.
“DADA DOMICILE” was produced by the Day de Dada Collective as an exhibit of Dada/Fluxus-inspired doll-sized furniture and household items displayed in structures of 1:6 scale (Barbie doll size.) The exhibit was part of “Dada in the House: 20 Years of Performance Art on Staten Island” and was open at the Newhouse Center from October 14 through December 30, 2023.
The Dada Domicile Mail Art can be seen in the online photo album Dada in the House – Mail Art

Day de Dada Mail Art Workshop: Who, What, Where is Home? with Special Guest – The Sticker Dude
Dada de Dada hosted a Mail Art Workshop in the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art on December 10, 2023, as part of the exhibition “Dada in the House: 20 Years in Staten Island.” At this hands-on workshop, we invited visitors to explore Mail Art, a fun and expressive art form. Supplies and guidance were provided to help map, describe, create, and send Mail Art about personal concepts of Home.
Special Guest The Sticker Dude, Joel has been exchanging mail art since the mid 1980’s. Joel collects, creates, and solicits artwork, puns, and aphorisms – the visual and verbal symbols surrounding us. He strips them of their old context and supplies a new one. As a professional printer, he reproduces them in quantity in readily accessible media and distributes them as freely and personally as possible. Joel’s work also includes musical and multimedia performance art.
DADA IN THE HOUSE is made possible through generous support from the Samuel I. Newhouse Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
DADA IN THE HOUSE is made possible by a DCLA Art Fund Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

DADA IN THE HOUSE: Fluxus? Panel with Performances
Many Day de Dada artists have been influenced by the experimental art produced during the Fluxus Art Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Learn some of the main tenets of Fluxus – intermedia, action scores, interactive performance, chance, humor and the priority of process. Three artists, Barbara Lubliner, Jonathan Leiter, and Marisa Tornello, will present short performances and then we will have a moderated discussion to consider how what we observed in the performances are connected to the Fluxus concepts.
WHEN: November 12 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
WHERE: Newhouse Center at Snug Harbor, Building G, galleries 1 and 2
ADMISSION: General admission: $5 (gallery admission included) | Student/Senior: $4 | Snug Harbor Member: Free
