- Clément Pansaers first heard of Dada through his friend Carl Einstein in Berlin in 1919 and joined the Dada group via Tristan Tzara. He published Bar Nicanor, advertised as a 'pan-dada' book, in Brussels in February 1921. The cover has a Dada-style imprint listing fanciful places of publications: 'Brussels, London, Paris, New York, Madrid, Yokohama'. This is an allusion to the anti-nationalist manifesto Dada soulève tout [= Dada Gives Everything a Lift] which Pansaers had signed in January 1921: "the signatories to this manifesto live in France, America, Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, etc but have no nationality."
(Engraving by Clément Pansaers, bublished in Bar Nicanor (Editions AIO : Bruxelles 1921). The complete book by Pansaers is online available on the site of the International Dada Archive.
