Dadara or Daniel Rozenberg[1] (born 8 February 1969, Łódź, Poland) is a Dutch artist of Polish ancestry known for his flyers,[2] paintings, album covers, statues and performance artwork.
After completing studies, Dadara started designing flyers, live-paintings and record covers for the then upcoming international electronic house music scene.
The public recognition gained through this underground exposure led his paintings to be noticed by the Reflex Modern Art Gallery in Amsterdam, where till today he had ten solo-exhibitions, as well as exhibitions in Paris, Berlin, Stuttgart, Miami and New York City.
Commissions include baby-shaped loudspeakers for B&W,[4] an Absolut Vodka ad, a Greenpeace campaign, invited artist for Expo 2000[5] in Hannover, and a 70 meters long mural for Leiden University in the Netherlands.
After its burn the Fools Ark rose like a Phoenix from its ashes to be burnt again on the island of Terschelling during the Oerol festival ('continuing its journey through the clouds, granting wishes and desires to all aboard....').
During his artist in residence period at CentralTrak in Dallas 2008–2009, Texas, Dadara worked on Checkpoint Dreamyourtopia, a border control checkpoint to enter your own Dreams, which could be experienced in Nevada and Texas before crossing borders itself, after which it was resurrected at the Lowlands Festival and destroyed in Berlin in an old swimming pool, where the walls between dreams and reality were smashed with chainsaws and sledgehammers twenty years after the Berlin Wall came crumbling down.
In August 2012, the Exchanghibition Bank travelled to Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, an event based on the principle of a gift economy, where no money changes hands.
In 2013 he started his own cult worshipping a 50 feet high Golden Like in the Nevada desert at Burning Man and guiding people on their Path to Spiritual Enlikement.
In a society where we are used to show a curated version of ourselves to the outside on- and offline world, he offered the chance to accept and embrace your dark sides, fears, and insecurities of yourself and others in an act of Radical Love.
