On Monday, October 14 from 7pm, the opening of the exhibition "But live here? No thanks. Surrealism + Anti-fascism" will take place. Lenbachhaus Munich cordially invites you and your friends.
"The human soul is international."
(Bulletin international du surréalisme, Prague, April 1935)
Surrealism was a political movement of international reach and internationalist conviction. While it had its origins in art and literature, it far exceeded both. Surrealists declared reality to be insufficient. Their ambition was to radically alter society and reimagine life. They wrote poems, worked on paintings and collective drawings, took photographs, assembled collages, and organized exhibitions—all of which were aimed at disarticulating a supposedly rational language in a supposedly rational world.
The exhibition at Lenbachhaus is conceived as a bundling of attempts to revise a still narrowly defined and politically trivialized Surrealist canon. Our goal is to arrive, together with our public, at new answers to the question, “What is Surrealism?”
With speeches from
Dominik Krause, First Deputy Mayor of the Munich City Council representing the Lord Mayor
Matthias Mühling, Director of Lenbachhaus
