In a way. I think everything in Dada was a "statement" more so than in lots of other art movements. Dada art was about more than just the art itself. It wasn't just meaningless art done for "art's sake" (that statement is one of my pet peeves, because there's really no such thing). Dada was very much a response to the absurdism of WWI and it was a sneer and a slap in the face of convention.
