National Docent Symposium 2013 "Dalí in the Details: Successful Strategies for Refreshing Your Tours from a Dalínian Perspective" Presented by Peter Tush Dalí Museum Curator of Education Diane Shea Williams Dalí Museum Docent Chair of the Volunteer Council 1) Who is Salvador Dalí? and what makes the Dalí Museum so special? Salvador Dalí Surrealist painter of dreams Salvador Dalí 1904 – 1989 Painter, writer, filmmaker, Surrealist, explorer of the unconscious, Nuclear Mystical painter, designer of ballets, architecture, clothing, book illustrations, album covers, jewelry, and commercials HH Alice Cooper Hologram – 1973 "All my ambition on the pictorial level consists of putting on canvas, with the most imperial fury of precision, the images of concrete irrationality." - Salvador Dalí The Persistence of Memory, 1931, Museum of Modern Art, NY The Weaning of Furniture-Nutrition, 1934 Dalí’s Autobiography 1942 Cover – The Persistence of Memory 1931 The Hallucinogenic Toreador 1969-70 The Dalí Museum holds the largest collection of his art outside Spain – with 96 oil paintings and more than 5,000 other works The Basket of Bread, 1926 Reynolds and Eleanor Morse, Dalí Museum founders, with Dalí and his wife Gala D Daddy Longlegs of the Evening – Hope!, 1940 The New Dalí Museum Jewel Box by Tampa Bay Spiral staircase ascends to galleries Dalí believed the spiral shape was nature’s perfect form and symbolized cosmic unity View of Tampa Bay from third floor View of the math garden View of the labyrinth Visitors tie wristbands to the wishing tree to end their visit to the museum with a wish. Voted #1 Attraction in Tampa Bay Area by Trip Advisor and Yelp "Don’t go through without a docent…it really comes to life when a docent explains Dalí’s life, his art, and his fame." "Dalí’s paintings are fascinating. DO NOT MISS THE DOCENT TOUR." "It is vital to take one of the guided tours to gain a more complete appreciation.“ "Make sure to take a tour or several…Each docent brings a different perspective.“ "The best thing in Florida…beyond amazing museum..." 2) How Do Our Dalí Docents Create a Surreal Visitor Experience? Eleanor Reese Morse Museum Benefactor and First Dali Docent No two tours are ever the same The Dalí Museum received more than 300,000 visitors last year Specialty Theme Tours – Math, Science, Religion, Architecture, Provocatour, more Dalí Docents Share Their Passion The most common visitor comment we hear is "I never thought I would like Dalí" 3) How Do We Sustain a Vibrant, Engaged, Docent Community? We take the idea of community very seriously. We are one of several great museums in downtown St. Pete, and we see ourselves as a part of this larger community. While not a large museum, the Dali Museum impacts the community by bringing in over $104.5 million dollars in direct and indirect spending for the regional economy. Even though we have audio tours, our visitors almost always choose to follow the docent. The Dalí Museum offered over 4,000 tours last year We present over 347 student tours last year for 8,000 students. Currently we have 118 Dalí Docents, with 31 more in training We arrange special docent trainings with instructors such as Michael Cassin, Education Director, Clark Art Institute We provide opportunities for seasonal workshops on abilities Docent Web Resources We have a rich online docent resource Coffee Talks provide opportunities for docents to hear members of our staff share new theories and ideas about the collection The Dalí Museum YouTube Site collects these public talks so they can be revisited They provide a multitude of topical ways to reinvent a tour Events like our 24 hour Dali autobiography read-a-thon create new ways to engage docents as well as the public Specialty Theme Tours challenge our docents; all the way from connecting with the minds of young visitors through our Breakfast tours… To exploring the less "family friendly" side of Surrealism on a "Provoca-tour" for age-appropriate audiences We even offer tours of our building and garden separately from our gallery tours. National and International Trips We even have a docent who has used Dali’s shoe hat to create a signature look “What made the tour so brilliant was our docent, Janice. I’m not quite sure how to find the words to describe Janice…all I can come up with are the words wacky, eccentric, unforgettable.” Pommie Travels Blog In Summary… Point #1: Our Dalí tours have remained fresh because: Tour Reinvention – • We encourage new approaches and new topics to permanent collection tours In Summary… Point #2: Our Dalí tours have remained fresh because: Online resources – • We provide online resources that provide immediate accessibility, thus encouraging curiosity, growth and renewed tours In Summary… Point #3: Our Dalí tours have remained fresh because: Community pride – • We seek out docents who are already active in the community and bring that pride to the tours through broad programming In Summary… Point #4: Our Dalí tours have remained fresh because: Transferable – • We foster enthusiasm and interest within the docent program via unique events, programs, and travel opportunities In Summary… Point #5: Our Dalí tours have remained fresh because: Partnerships – • New volunteers join because they have such positive interactions with our docents at the museum and in the community In Summary… Point #4: Our Dalí tours have remained fresh because: • We provide programs and events opportunities so that visitors see the pride our docents have for their tours and our museum Ways to Keep it Fresh with volunteers: • Coffee talks with our curators bring new interpretations of familiar work • Our new building allows for new approaches to touring visitors • Collaborating on the docent class with University of South Florida • Reinstall collection periodically to force different ways of thinking & presenting collection • Trips to other Dalí-related shows expand understanding and create dialogue between our docents and theirs Dalí Junior Docent summer camps offer curriculum developed and taught by Pinellas County Visual Arts Teachers Dalí Junior Docent summer camp of 2012 Dalí Teen Docents Dalí Teen Docents A family-friendly event: Breakfast with Dalí Outreach Dalí & Da Vinci Dalí & Self Promotion Dada & Surrealism Coffee with a Curator Themes Dalí & Tattoo Art Dalí: Jewel Creations "The true painter must be able, before an empty desert to fill his canvas with extraordinary scenes." - Salvador Dalí Many of our special events include dressing up the part School tours School group inspired by Halsman Jump Book photo of Dalí Philippe Halsman: Dalí Atomicus, 1948 Local Trips Docents and Volunteers on trip to Lakeland .

  • Paris, New York and Madrid: Picasso and Dalí Before Great International Exhibitions
    Paris, New York and Madrid: Picasso and Dalí before Great International Exhibitions Dalí’s attitude toward Picasso began with admiration, which later became competition, and finally a behavior that, still preserving some features of the former two, also included provocative and exhibitionist harassment, simulated or expressed rivalry, and recognition. As we shall see, this attitude reached its climax at the great international exhibitions. On the other hand, Picasso always stayed away from these provocations and kept a completely opposite, yet watchful and serene behavior toward the impetuous painter from Figueres. Paris 1937, New York 1939 and Madrid 1951: these three occasions in these three major cities are good examples of the climaxes in the Picasso and Dalí confrontation. These international events show their relative divergences, postures, commitments and ways of conceiving art, as well as their positions in relation to Spain. After examining the origins of their relationship, which began in 1926, these three spaces and times shall guide our analysis and discussion of this suggestive relationship. The cultural centers of Madrid, Paris and New York were particularly important in Picasso’s and Dalí’s artistic influence, as well as scenes of their agreements and disagreements. On the one hand, Picasso had already lived in Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century, while Paris had then become the main scene of his artistic development, and New York played a relevant role in his self-promotion. On the other hand, Dalí arrived in Madrid in the early 1920s, and its atmosphere allowed him to get to Paris by the end of this decade, although New York would later become his main advertising and art promotion center.

  • Rêverie” (Notes, Fragments, and Collage for a Lecture) by Juan José Lahuerta
    ©Juan José Lahuerta, 2007 & 2016 “Rêverie” (notes, fragments, and collage for a lecture) by Juan José Lahuerta - “Rêverie” was published in Le Surréalisme au Service de la Révolution, no. 4, Paris, December 1931, pp. 31-36. - Issues 3 and 4 appeared simultaneously in December 1931. Dalí also contributed to issue 3 with the major article “Objets surréalistes” and a note on “Visage Paranoïaque,” together with a postcard about Picasso’s “black period.” - Both of these issues have a distinct political bent; for example, no. 3 opens with the long Aragon article “Le surréalisme et le devenir révolutionnaire.” Thus a certain tension arises between Dalí’s contributions, particularly “Rêverie,” and this strongly political vein. - The consequences of publishing this “story,” if it can be called that, must be understood within the context of this tension. In fact, these consequences had a significant impact on the Surrealists, since the piece helped spark the definitive break between Breton and Aragon. Once it was published, the story’s pornographic nature caused a considerable scandal, to the point that Surrealists who were members of the Communist Party were called before a commission that demanded explanations of them. Shortly thereafter, in March of 1932, Éditions Surréalistes published Breton’s plaquette Misère de la poésie. Its objective was to defend Aragon, who found himself embroiled in legal and police proceedings following publication of the poem “The Red Front.” In this plaquette, however, and contrary to party directives and the ambiguous position of Aragon himself, Breton defended such things as the complementary relationship between dialectic thought and Freudian analysis.

  • The Dalí Theatre-Museum: the Result of an Artist's Obsessive Zeal For
    The Dalí Theatre-Museum: the result of an artist’s obsessive zeal for research Montse Aguer i Teixidor Director of the Centre for Dalinian Studies Revista de Girona, year L, number 222, january-february 2004 The Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres is a unique space, a museographical model based on the artist’s conception of enhancing the semantic possibilities of his own creation, an outstanding work of art which gives priority to concepts and ideas over chronological historicism, an original outlook … just part of what we find here and need to know in order to understand the whole. When Dalí created his total masterpiece, his great surrealist object, his self-designated “ready-made” space, he distanced himself once again from the fashion of the time and offered a centre full of evocations, statements and provocations that never fail to arouse the interest of the visitor-spectator. In the Museum, the building itself shapes the general outline of Dalinian creativity, offering visitors a journey through Salvador Dalí’s personal and artistic trajectory, from both the surrealist approach to art exhibition and that of Dalí himself. We can see works from each of Dalí’s artistic periods, from the early impressionist, cubist, pointillist and fauvist paintings to his surrealist, classicist and mystical-nuclear periods, with the latter works linked to the scientific progress of the age. Also displayed here are paintings from his last 1980-1983 period, during which Dalí reclaimed the great classical masters, notably Michelangelo and Velázquez. Here we find Dalí at his most provocative, Dalí the mystic, Dalí the set designer, Dalí the science enthusiast and, above all, the Dalí of the final period.

  • Salvador Dali
    Salvador Dali (1904 – 1989) Painter, Sculptor, Filmmaker, Photographer Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí I Doménech, Marquis of Dalí de Púbol Salvador Dalí was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Spain, close to the French border. He attended drawing school and learned about painting as a young boy. At 18, he studied Art at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he got a lot of attention because of his appearance. He wore his hair long, with sideburns and wore knee length pants and stockings (strange clothes for the time). He also gained a lot of attention for his paintings, in which he tried out the style of Cubism (like fellow Spaniard Pablo Picasso). In 1924, shortly before he would have graduated, he was expelled from the School of Fine Arts for saying that no one on the faculty of the school was competent to test him. Also in 1924 he made his first visit to Paris and met Pablo Picasso, whom he admired and was influenced by. Dali mixed classical and modern techniques, sometimes in the same painting, which confused critics and art patrons. He grew a wild moustache, which would become a trademark of his personal look for the rest of his life. The Basket of Bread (1926) In 1929, he met a Russian woman named Gala, who would become his wife, model, and inspiration for much of his work. He joined a group of artists from the Montparnasse area of Paris who were Surrealists. The subject matter of his paintings became very dreamlike, dealing with images from the subconscious.
