The Sculpture Park of Edward James, Las Pozas. the Most Representative Surrealistic Sanctuary in Mexico The sculpture park of Edward James, Las Pozas. The most representative surrealistic sanctuary in Mexico. • Las Pozas is the most important cultural project The sculpture park of Edward James, “Las Pozas” on which the Pedro and Elena Foundation was created by Edward (Fundación Pedro and Elena Hernandéz, A.C.)

André Breton defines the first surrealistic manifest as, “dictates of thought, without regulatory reason and devoid of worry concerning style and moral.” Nestled in the Huasteca Potosina, Edward James found the perfect setting to create his masterpiece. Among natural and artificial pools and waterfalls the mind is prepared to enter into a dream world, and a surrealistic labyrinth unfolds. Buildings that evoke nonsense, doors that open up to nothing, stairs that lead to the sky, and concrete flowers that grow along with natural ones. The architecture of Las Pozas represents an artistic and sculptural surrealistic group inspired in both orchids and the vegetation of the Huasteca Potosina. It combines representative elements of the surrealistic movement in which Edward James was so immersed. A Shrangri-la; a fusion of organic and artificial, between jungle and concrete, thus achieving a fusion of two worlds into one. The origin of Las Pozas goes back to 1947 when Edward James (who lived in a form of exile in the United States) purchased a coffee plantation near Xilitla, San Luis Potosi, and registered it in the name of Plutarco Gastelum, his close friend. Together they created Las Pozas. During the first years Edward James kept Las Pozas as a plantation for his fabulous orchid collection and as a home for his different animal species (deer, ocelots, snakes, flamingos and other birds). In 1962, after an unprecedented frost destroyed a large portion of Edward James plantation, he began the construction of the sculptural garden we know today. More than 150 persons worked on the project including, carpenters, bricklayers and gardeners. The construction was halted in 1984, year in which Edward James passed away. It was not until 1991 that the doors of the garden were opened to the public. The “sculptural group of Las Pozas” is located on a piece of land situated in Xilitla near La Conchita. Its surface covers almost nine hectare of garden, where one can find 27 buildings, structures and sculptures and another 27 hectare of natural landscape. Some of the most representative buildings and sculptures are: The movie theater: here movies were to be projected for the Xilitla inhabitants. Edward James said that to look through the arch was like having a permanent screen for the garden. Don Eduardo´s Square: James christened the square San Isidro to honor the huge tree, which grew there. Later the workers re-christened it Don Eduardo´s square because it was here that they received their pay. The Bamboo Palace: James called it “the tower of hope” and said that one day it would be his home. Between 1964 and 1967 the renowned painter Leonora Carrington visited the garden, and as testimony left a 0.90 by 2.55 al fresco painted mural. The mural is a figure with human feminine traits and a zoomorphic head and is to be found in Plutarco Gastélum´s house, now converted into an hotel, El Castillo. It is the house in which Edward James stayed on his visits to Xilitla. The mural is a significant work of the painter in Mexico and due to its artistic characteristics it melted quite naturally into the surrealistic surroundings of this place inhabited by Edward James. In 2007 the Pedro y Elena Hernandéz Foundation, A.C. acquired Las Pozas with the intention of preserving the sculptures and protecting the ecosystem. In 2012 the National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA) declared the garden an artistic monument for investing it with relevant aesthetic values. The affairs of the sculpture garden are guided by the regulations of the Federal Law for Monuments, and Archeological, Artistic and Historical zones. (Ley Federal sobre Monumentos y Zonas Arqueológicos, Artísticas e Históricas.) The regulations support efforts for global recognition and for acceding to global programs for the protection of relevant monuments and the preservation of the nation’s artistic heritage. The Pedro y Elena Hernandez Foundation, apart from being in charge of receiving the more than 100 thousand visitors who come each year also work on the following: • Conserving and restoring the sculptures • Conserving and restoring the garden • Conserving and restoring the 37 hectares of natural areas belonging to the property. Some recommendations for your visit: • The days with fewer visitors are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. • The months with fewer crowds are January, February, September and October. • The average temperature in the area is 22 degrees Celsius, with a maximum of 38 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 4 degrees Celsius. Xilitla is the part of San Luis Potosi, which receives the heaviest rainfall. Edward James Born on August 16, 1907 in Scotland into a family who possessed an immense fortune and a heritage of great luxury and privilege. His baptismal godfather was King Edward VII. He spent his infancy and part of his adolescence in West Dean Castle in West Sussex, England. (Presently one of the most prestigious colleges for art and conservation in the world). He studied literature in Oxford and that is how he became involved in the world of arts. He met artists such as the British poet John Betjeman and he also met Randolph Churchill. Edward James’ life style imitated the surrealistic art he so loved. He turned his back on the rigid circles of British aristocracy, preferring to mingle with and give economic support to a dozen artists who, in time, would come to be great artistic figures such as: Dalí, René Magritte and Stravinsky. He wrote poetry all his life but it was in the construction of the monuments in Las Pozas where he found his own artistic fulfillment. While staying in Los Angeles there arose in him a longing to find an idyllic home where he could give himself up to writing and to his poetry. In 1944 he visited Cuernavaca, Morelos and this trip marked the beginning of the construction of James masterpiece, which is to be found in the Huasteca Potosina. In Cuernavaca’s telegraph office James met and employed as his guide Plutarco Gastélum, a Mexican from the state of Sonora in whom both Basque and Yaqui blood flowed. In time Gastélum became James’ right hand man and friend in an unending journey that would be the Sculptural Garden of Las Pozas. That is how James became part of Plutarco Gastélum and his wife Marina Llamazares’ family. Some of the people with whom James had a close relationship were: Dalí, René Magritte, Leonora Carrington, Elsa Schiaparelli, Coco Chanel, Niki de Saint Phalle, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Isamu Noguchi, and Henry Moore, among others. Edward James passed away in northern Italy. His heritage to the world was some of the most exceptional architectural constructions of the XX century. Poem written by Edward James in his cabin situated in the Sculptural Garden: THIS SHELL without is washed-so that the sinking sun makes shine her dark, wide roof of words and My house grows like the chamber’d nautilus; pearl. after a storm opens a larger room Deep house, your heart wants in the dusk to furl! from my intenser childhood’s sleeping-place where curled, my head to chest, I felt the grace The deluge comes. The storm, still after me, of the first need to grow. My house has wings thirsts for my light. It strikes to swallow up and sometimes, in the dead of night, she sings. the flame of my identity. This house is all assuaged and waiting for that sea The shadows of the palm-leaves on the stone whose child I am; nor, thunder, do you cease; have with jade evening fingers longer grown- but the high windows, drowned, break and drink and now my house, by storms of sorrow bathed, peace.

For them, art was an expression of the subconscious. Prints and Photographs Division. Surrealism quickly attained an avant garde status. Although enormously popular in Europe, surrealism, in an attempt to distance itself from normative expression, nonetheless allied itself with outsiders. As a result, homosexual communities and artists quickly accepted the new form of expression. The period after World War I in Europe was marked by great disruption and upheaval. The old political order had been shattered, and a tinge of hopefulness pervaded the continental artistic community. Dadaism, the forerunner to surrealism in which artistic works deliberately defied convention or comprehension, was heavily influenced by the ongoing war and was, consequently, a dark and negative type of expression. Surrealism grew out of Dadaism but also essentially grew away from it. Far from being negative, surrealism focused on positive expression. This combination of the realities of the aftermath of World War I and the dreamy hopefulness of the continent between the world wars helps account for the seemingly contradictory elements of surrealism as it attempted to reconnect seemingly disjointed ideals: light and dark, the conscious and the unconscious, hope and despair, rationalism and irrationalism, dream and fantasy.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

GLORA ORENSTEIN OFFICE: T.H.H 174 VOICE MAIL: 740—0100 E-MAIL: [email protected] In this course we will explore the Dada and Surrealist Movements in the arts. We will focus on each movement’s aesthetic philosophy and stylistic and conceptual innovations as they manifested in a variety of artistic media: poetry, film, fiction, theatre, painting, manifestos, happenings, and contemporary Neo-Dada and Neo surrealist literary and visual creations. Concepts and forms such as The Marvelous, Automatic Writing, Objective Chance (synchronicity), Black Humor, the Found Object, The Dream Object, The Exquisite Corpse, The Surrealist Object, The Surrealist Image, The Surrealist Game, The Happpening, The Dream Narrative, Communicating Vessels, Paranoic Critical Creations, Frottage, Surrealist Collage, The One in The Other, Panic Theatre/Ephemeras, and many other artistic techniques will be elucidated as they articulate the “convulsive beauty” of Dada and Surrealist art and writing internationally. The women of Surrealism, their work in art and literature, will be a major focus of the course. There is one important aspect of the course that I would like to stress. Throughout the semester I would like you to search the web and establish an extensive file on either Dadists or Surrealists in a country of your choice. Print out a collection of information on contemporary dada or surrealist artists in your selected country or region, and be prepared to hand in this collection on the last day of class. It will take the form of a Class Presentation and it may be the Field Work component of your final research paper/project.

  • From Nothingness to Dreams Dada and Surrealism from the Collection of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Curated by Marco Vallora
    Alba, Fondazione Ferrero from 27 October 2018 to 25 February 2019 From Nothingness to Dreams Dada and Surrealism from the Collection of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Curated by Marco Vallora The exhibition “From Nothingness to Dreams. Dada and Surrealism from the Collection of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen” will take place at Ferrero Foundation in Alba from 27th October 2018 to 25th February 2019. It was conceived by Marco Vallora following an exhibition logic reflective of Surrealist suggestions, both in the way works are showcased and how art is no longer presented as a slumbering museum piece. In around ten sections with captivating titles, such as The Dada zero degree of art; Dreams, Eros, amour fou, erotic transgression; The unconscious, the double, the unsettling; Art and nature, man reinventing himself; Sade, Freud, Marx, disquieting muses of surreal living; Was there a Surrealist architecture?, and so forth… works of high quality and impact follow one another, in a sort of ghost-gallery of avant-garde fantastic imagination. Some can also be quite easily recognised, because they have been featured on the covers of our most cherished books (by Man Ray, Magritte, Dalí, Max Ernst, etc.). These works communicate with one another, in harmony or counterpoint, and follow a progression that is mostly thematic, paying attention to the chronology of events. Reflecting some problems and themes that help distinguish Dada’s nihilistic poetics from the more propositional one of Surrealism: chance, the aesthetic ugliness, dreams, the unconscious, the relation with ancient art, the connection between art and ideology. For those who really love art and enjoy unexpected beautiful things, the promising and well-renowned Dutch Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is a real gem of a collection.
