Say what now?

 I’m SORRY?! Marie Osmond reads Hugo Ball the Dadist poet! This from Ripley’s Believe it or Not


Stop whatever you’re doing and watch this video of Marie Osmond do a performance of Hugo Ball’s sound poem ‘Karawane’ on Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!

My subject at Art School the Dadaists and more from Duchamp and Ray to many more besides including the wondrous Hugo Ball . . . did I know Marie Osmond was a fan?! WAS SHE!? Or was it some producers idea of a joke?? Truly extraordinary!
