To inscribe oneself in time, with the greatest possible precision, has been a common practice among the artistic avant-gardes, linked to the idea of a clean slate and the accompanying desire to make a date – with a declaration, a manifesto, an exhibition. Thus, the poet André Breton published, with Editions du Sagittaire, on October 15, 1924, the Manifesto which marked the birth of Surrealism and whose centenary we are celebrating.
To commemorate this event, the Centre Pompidou, the André Breton association and the Professional Committee of Art Galleries are joining forces in the “Surrealist Paris” project, of which the exhibition is a part. Surreal. Three short surreal stories in collaboration with the Kaléidoscope gallery, the Alain Le Gaillard gallery and the Jacques and Thessa Herold collection.
The exhibition is presented from September 5 to November 30 at 2 rue des Beaux-arts, 23 rue de Seine and 19 rue Mazarine, addresses which, in the time of the surrealists, offered an excellent observatory for both the beginnings of the movement in the interwar period and its extensions or reassessments beyond the Second World War. It offers a journey through time, from modern art to contemporary art, to show works inspired by surrealist situations and forms, also coming from outside the movement itself. It follows the trajectories of the main protagonists of surrealism and their possible intersections, identifying the traces they left there as well as the worlds to which their works led. It also questions the importance that the city and the places had for these artists, as well as the wanderings that unfolded there and the encounters they sometimes provided the stage for.
