Marc Dachy was one of the main specialists of the Dada art movement (Tristan Tzara, for example) and Surrealism (André Breton, as example).

He had been a resident in Kyoto at Villa Kujoyama in 2000 to prepare his book Dada au Japon (PUF 2002).

In 1993 he was the general curator of the Biennial de Lyon, that he called And they all change the world: chosen from a poem by Julian Beck that had been published in the Luna Park Journal.

Dachy translated texts from English to French by the artists Gertrude Stein, John Cage, Piet Mondrian, La Monte Young and Kurt Schwitters published by Ivrea, as well as texts by Eugène Jolas and Theo van Doesburg.
