Ausstellungseröffnung: Aber hier leben? Nein danke. Surrealismus + Antifaschismus
In the organizer's words:
On Monday, October 14 from 7 p.m., the opening of the exhibition"But live here? No thanks. Surrealism + Antifascism" takes place. The Lenbachhaus cordially invites you and your friends!
"The human soul is international."
(Bulletin international du surréalisme, Prague, April 1935)
Surrealism was an international political movement. Surrealists denounced European colonial policies, organized themselves against fascist movements, fought for the Spanish Republic, were persecuted, went into exile, fell in the war against the National Socialists.
They wrote poetry, deconstructed a supposedly rational language in a supposedly rational world, worked on paintings, collective drawings, took photographs and made collages. Surrealism was taken up by everyone from the 1968 movement to the black civil rights movement as a method that was often quite naturally linked to emancipatory concerns.
The exhibition at the Lenbachhaus sees itself as a bundling of attempts to revise a still narrowly defined and politically trivialized surrealist canon and to answer the question anew: What is Surrealism?
There will be simultaneous translation into German sign language.
Registration is not required.
