Dada blogpost#2: What is art?

For your 2nd blog responses please post any Dadaist definitions of art that you find in your readings (We will be posting on AntiArt later).
For example: "A creative art, a power of the creative instinct, a heroic art which embodies all that is serious and all that is fortuitous in life's laws. Dada regarded art as an adventure of liberated humanity." [Richter p. 49].
"Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb..." Hans Arp.

What is Dada?

"Dada doubts everything. Dada is an armadillo. Everything is dada, too. Beware of dada. Anti-dadaism is a disease. Self-kleptomania, man's normal condition, is dada. But the real dadaists are against dada." - Tristan Tzara. 

Testing... 1..2..

Is this thing on?
