Une situation due à une ancienne conservatrice des collections, Renilde Hammacher qui, dans les années 60 et 70 a mené une politique d'achat d'oeuvres surréalistes. Elle a également organisé, en 1970, une grande exposition consacrée à Dali. Et l'artiste avait fait le déplacement à Rotterdam pour le vernissage ! • Plusieurs oeuvres de Dali avaient quitté, ces derniers mois, le musée hollandais, invités dans diverses expositions à travers l'Europe. Pour «fêter» leur retour, le musée Boijmans expose donc ses plus belles oeuvres surréalistes auxquelles viennent s'ajouter trois toiles de Dali du Musée national Reine Sofia de Madrid. • Aux côtés des oeuvres du peintre espagnol – dont un des fameux «Mae West lips sofa», on découvre aussi des toiles et objets de contemporains de Dali comme Man Ray, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst, Chirico, Picabia… • M.F.G. • Jusqu'au 2 février au Musée Boijmans van Beuningen à Rotterdam, du mardi au dimanche de 11hà 17 h, fermé le lundi, le 25 décembre et le 1er janvier. http://www.lavenir.net/article/detail.aspx?articleid=DMF20130928_00366821 21st Century portuguese surrealism in Berlin [10 octobre -> 20 décembre 2013] The Fellini Art Gallery in center of Berlin , will host an Exhibition of 21st Century Portuguese Surrealism Berlin, Germany September 25th 2013 From October 10th to December 20th the Fellini Art Gallery will host Santiago Ribeiro´s initiative 21st Century Portuguese Surrealism in Berlin.

Santiago Ribeiro is a surrealist painter from Coimbra, Portugal, known worldwide for the Surrealism Now project and for his surreal painting. The plastic artist was invited by the Fellini gallery, based in Berlin, to develop an initiative that culminated in the exhibition "21st Century Portuguese Surrealism", comprised of various artists such as Victor Lages, Paula Rosa, Isabel Meyrelles, Hélio Cunha and João Carvalho. Surrealism Now and 21st Century Portuguese Surrealism The first exhibition under the title of "International Surrealism Now" took place in Coimbra, in 2010, organized by the Bissaya Barreto Foundation, based in that city. Followed by other exhibitions in Portugal, namely in Conímbriga, Setúbal and Lisbon, but also in Paris and Madrid. At present, the exhibition comprises more than thirty countries and more than fifty artworks, including drawings, photography, new media and sculpture, created by internationally renowned artists. As a result of implementing the project Surrealism Now, emerged the 21st Century Portuguese Surrealism. After be held in Lisbon heads now to the Fellini Gallery, with the support of the Portuguese Embassy in Berlin. The Fellini Art Gallery Fellini Gallery was founded in 2008 in Shanghai, China, by a film producer and art lover, inspired by the works of the legendary Italian film director Federico Fellini. The gallery is an art salon where artists and art lovers can gather to exchange ideas and to progress. Its exceptional location and dynamic roster of artists quickly brought the gallery to the attention of the international art scene. Its rapid success in Shanghai led to the creation of a second gallery in the new art capital of Europe: Berlin. Fellini Gallery in Berlin is located in the heart of the city and maintains the spirit of the original Shanghai gallery. Exhibits a wide range of work in the fine arts of painting, photography and sculpture, but also performance and new media.

    Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary 11 February – 13 May 2012 The Mint Museum 1 COVER Gordon Onslow Ford, Le Vallee, Switzerland, circa 1938 Photograph by Elisabeth Onslow Ford, courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation FIGURE 1 Sketch for Escape, October 1939 gouache on paper Photograph courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation Gordon Onslow Ford: Voyager and Visionary As a young midshipman in the British Royal Navy, Gordon Onslow Ford (1912-2003) welcomed standing the night watch on deck, where he was charged with determining the ship’s location by using a sextant to take readings from the stars. Although he left the navy, the experience of those nights at sea may well have been the starting point for the voyages he was to make in his painting over a lifetime, at first into a fabricated symbolic realm, and even- tually into the expanding spaces he created on his canvases. The trajectory of Gordon Onslow Ford’s voyages began at his birth- place in Wendover, England and led to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and to three years at sea as a junior officer in the Mediterranean and Atlantic fleets of the British Navy. He resigned from the navy in order to study art in Paris, where he became the youngest member of the pre-war Surrealist group. At the start of World War II, he returned to England for active duty. While in London awaiting a naval assignment, he organized a Surrealist exhibition and oversaw the publication of Surrealist poetry and artworks that had been produced the previous summer in France (fig.

    The Democratic Languages of Exile: Reading Eugene Jolas And

    THE DEMOCRATIC LANGUAGES OF EXILE: READING EUGENE JOLAS AND YVAN GOLL’S AMERICAN POETRY WITH JACQUES DERRIDA AND HANNAH ARENDT DELPHINE GRASS In most European nations, two visions of language are superimposed: whereas a national language is a construct which is thought to maintain social and cultural cohesion, democracies are made of individual speech acts and interventions while not being limited to a single language. The aim of this article is to argue that in order to have a healthy public sphere, democracies need to challenge the monolingual paradigm maintained by nationalisms. Firstly, this paper will explore the conflicted role of language within democratic nation states by exploring the place given to the concept of mother tongue in defining citizenship after the Second World War. To do so, I will analyse the works of two philosophers, Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida, who have defended the rights of refugees and migrants to participate in democratic life while maintaining opposite positions on the politically emancipatory potential of the mother tongue within the public sphere. Secondly, I will problematize both Arendt and Derrida’s positions by examining the works of two poets from the Alsace-Lorraine borderland, Yvan Goll and Eugene Jolas, who were both marginal in what Yasemin Yildiz defines as the ‘monolingual paradigm’ since both grew up in a borderland area between Germany and France where multilingualism, rather than monolingualism, was the unofficial linguistic norm.1 Written in English, the adopted language of their exile, the poems chosen for analysis explore the possibility of salvaging a new democratic consciousness from the statelessness of their multilingual condition, which they saw reflected in the multilingual crowds of immigrants in New York.

    « Reflecting the Other: The Thing Poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge » by Vanessa Jane Robinson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto © Copyright by Vanessa Jane Robinson 2012 « Reflecting the Other: The Thing Poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge » Vanessa Jane Robinson Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Across continents and independently of one another, Marianne Moore (1887-1972) and Francis Ponge (1899-1988) both made names for themselves in the twentieth century as poets who gave voice to things. Their entire oeuvres are dominated by poems that attempt to reconstruct an external thing (inanimate object, plant or animal being) through language, while emphasizing the necessary distance that exists between the writing self and the written other. Furthermore, their thing poetry establishes an “essential otherness” to the subject of representation that (ideally) rejects an objectification of that subject, thereby rendering the “thing” a subject-thing with its own being-for-itself. This dissertation argues that the thing poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge successfully challenged the hierarchy between subject and object in representation by bringing the poet’s self into a dialogue with the encountered thing. The relationship between the writing self and the written other is akin to what Maurice Merleau-Ponty refers to in Le visible et l’invisible when he describes the act of perceiving what is visible as necessitating one’s own visibility to another. The other becomes a mirror of oneself and vice versa, Merleau-Ponty explains, to the extent that together they compose a single image.

    Jennifer Wild, “‘Are You Afraid of the Cinema?’” AmeriQuests (2015) ‘Are you Afraid of the Cinema?’: Du Cinéma and the Changing Question of Cinephilia and the Avant-Garde (1928-1930) In December 1928, the prolific “editor of the Surrealists,” La Librairie José Corti, launched the deluxe, illustrated journal Du Cinéma: Revue de Critique et de Recherches Cinématographiques.1 Its first issue, indeed its very first page, opened with a questionnaire that asked, “Are you afraid of the cinema?” (Fig. 1, 2) The following paragraphs describing the questionnaire’s logic and critical aims were not penned by the journal’s founding editor in chief, Jean- George Auriol (son of George Auriol, the illustrator, typographer, and managing editor of the fin-de-siècle journal Le Chat Noir); rather, they were composed by André Delons, poet, critic, and member of the Parisian avant-garde group Le Grand Jeu. “This simple question is, by design, of a frankness and a weight made to unsettle you. I warn you that it has a double sense and that the only thing that occupies us is to know which you will choose,” he wrote.2 1. Cover, Du Cinéma, No. 1.

    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.

ABSTRACT As the first major study of the portrait artist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893- 1965), this thesis locates the artist in his social, political and economic context, arguing that his portraiture can be seen as an exemplar of modernity. The portraits are shown to be responses to modern life, revealed not in formally avant- garde depictions, but in the subject-matter. Industrial growth, the increasing population, expanding suburbs, and a renewed interest in the outdoor life and popular entertainment are reflected in Fleetwood-Walker’s artistic output. The role played by exhibition culture in the creation of the portraits is analysed: developing retail theory affected gallery design and exhibition layout and in turn impacted on the size, subject matter and style of Fleetwood-Walker’s portraits.
