Dada Tank

Aleksić published Dada Tank as a response to Branko Ve Poljanski and his brother Ljubomir Micić's anti-Dada publication Dada-Jok from May 1922.

[1] After falling out with the representative of Dada in Yugoslavia, Dragan Aleksić, the Zenitists Branko Ve Poljanski and Ljubomir Micić published an anti-Dada single issue publication in May 1922 called Dada-Jok.

Through a skillful, reflexive parody of the movement, the editor Poljanski sought to expose Dada's limits as an artistic and spiritual current, proposing Zenitism in its stead.

[1] Dada-Tank was a large-scale, eight-page folded sheet with a typographically bold dispersion of cover information in interrupted, alternating horizontal and vertical rows of letters.

Dada Tank also included the Hungarian-language poem Grčka Vatra (Greek Fire) by Erwin Enders, originally published in the May 1922 issue of Vienna-based MA.
