With our best regards Felicity and Pedro. (Conference Organiser at Exeter; Conference Intern). Jonathan Eburne, Effie Rentzou, Abigail Susik, Elliott King (Conference Committee) The International Society for the Study of Surrealism (ISSS) proposes to integrate the field of surrealism studies in North America and other locations by organizing events and managing channels of information that will facilitate cross-disciplinary and inter-cultural communication and exchange. This will be accomplished through the organization of international conferences and state-of-the-field workshops; the curation or support of museum exhibitions; and the publication of research findings. The society’s website will serve as a clearinghouse for information regarding contemporary research on surrealism as well as exhibitions, events, and pedagogical practices related to surrealism. The ISSS aims to develop a permanent infrastructure that might include one or more research centers, translation support, and a scholarly journal. In addition, the ISSS intends to foster the exchange of ideas between practicing artists and writers and the scholarly community for whom surrealism (past and present) is a field of ongoing inquiry. The ISSS began its inaugural membership year in 2018, hosting its inaugural conference at Bucknell University (Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA) from November 1-4, 2018. This second conference takes place between the 29th, 30th, 31st of August, 2019, at the University of Exeter (Devon, UK). 2 Image: Gerald the Giraffe - find out more about the link between Ted Joans and RAMM in the digital exhibition, Digital Humanities Lab, August 29th - September 2nd. 3 SCHEDULE OVERVIEW Key to Room Locations: A: Matrix Lecture Theatre B: Constantine Leventis Room C: Kolade Room D: Bateman Lecture Theatre E: Pearson Room (See campus map on page 6) A: Matrix Lecture Theatre B: Constantine Levantis Room Thursday 21st August Session 1 - 15:00 16:30 Surrealism and the Labour of Selves Surrealism, Research, and Break Method Session 2 - 17:00 18:30 Practice and Performance Mise-en-page Film Programme - 19:00 22:00 Friday 22nd August Session 3 - 09:00 10:30 Gordon Onslow Ford: From Surrealism to the Inner Worlds Social Networks of Surrealist Break Groups Session 4 - 11:00 13:00 Surrealism Undercover: Surrealist Practice in Poland and the The Architectural Uncanny in Ukraine the Anthropocene Lunch - 13:00 14:00 Session 5 - 14:00 15:30 Roundtable Disucssion: Surrealist Periodicals Abhuman Bodies Session 6 - 15:30 17:00 Word and Image Surrealist Nomads RAAM Gala @ RAAM Museum 18:00 20:00 Saturday 23rd August Session 7 - 09:00 10:30 Visionary States Conceptual Transformations Break Session 8 - 11:00 12:30 Re-thinking Automatism Films in Transfigured Time Lunch - 12:30 13:45 Session 9 - 14:00 15:30 Collage as Critique Romanticism’s Prehensile Tail Break Sesison 10 - 16:00 17:30 Surrealism and Music: New Histories Transnational Receptions Evening BBQ @ Reed Hall - 18:00 21:00 4 C: Kolade Room D: Bateman Lecture Theatre E: Pearson Room Double Jeopardy: Women Surrealists in Central and Eastern Mapping Breton’s Collection: Surrealist Art Practice Europe Part 1 Performance, Text, and the Female Body Mapping Breton’s Collection: Part 2.

    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.

    Avantgarden Und Politik

    Im Rausch der Revolution: Kunst und Politik bei André Masson und den surrealistischen Gruppierungen Contre-Attaque und Acéphale STEPHAN MOEBIUS Wirft man einen Blick auf die Debatten um die historische Avantgarde- bewegung des Surrealismus, so fällt auf, dass deren politisches Engage- ment1 in der Avantgardeforschung, in Ausstellungen und in der Kunst- geschichte allgemein auf spezifische und mehrere Weisen »gezähmt«2 wird: Entweder werden die politischen Aktivitäten der Surrealisten auf eine antibürgerliche Haltung reduziert oder sie werden als eine kurzzei- tige, von der »wahren« ästhetischen Praxis und den Kunstwerken der Surrealisten völlig abtrennbare Verirrung3 dargestellt. In manchen Inter- pretationen wirft man ihnen sogar vor, mit totalitären Systemen ver- wandt zu sein oder diese vorbereitet zu haben (Dröge/Müller 1995; Klinger 2004: 218). Im letzteren Fall gilt der (meist vor dem Hinter- grund der Totalitarismustheorie argumentierende) pauschale Vorwurf 1 Siehe dazu beispielsweise die Tractes surréalistes et déclarations collecti- ves 1922-1939 (Pierre 1980), Nadeau (1986), Short (1969) sowie Lewis (1988) und Spiteri/LaCoss (2003). 2 Vgl. Breuer (1997). Auch die Düsseldorfer Ausstellung (Spies 2002) über den Surrealismus machte eine Trennung zwischen Bildern und Manifes- ten, sie zähmte den Surrealismus und setzte die Bilder kaum in Beziehung zu den politischen Manifesten, Zeitschriften und Texten (vgl. Bürger 2002). 3 Vgl.

Die Futuristen sind in der Tat kriegslüsterne Patrioten und spätere Parteigänger des italienischen Faschismus.

    The Thing Poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge »

    « 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.

    Sonja Sekula's Time May Have Finally Come

    PETER BLUM GALLERY Sonja Sekula’s Time May Have Finally Come Sekula was part of a number of different overlapping scenes, and she was loved and thought highly of by many. And then nearly everything about her and her work got forgotten. GALLERIES | WEEKEND By John Yau Saturday April 29, 2017 Sonja Sekula (1918-1963) piqued my curiosity when I first saw some of her works just a few months ago. Still, I was not sure what to expect when I went to the current exhibition Sonja Sekula: A Survey at Peter Blum Gallery (April 21 – June 24, 2017). I had known that this troubled, Swiss-born artist was part of an international circle of artists, writers, choreographers, and composers in New York in the 1940s, when she was in her early twenties, and that since her death by suicide in 1963, she and her work have largely been effaced from history. But aside from a few biographical facts and the handful of works I saw, I knew little else, but it was more than enough to bring me back. Ethnique, (1961), gouache on paper, 20 1/8 x 20 1/8 inches (all images courtesy Peter Blum At one point, while circling the Gallery, New York) galleries two space for the second or third time, I stopped to peer into a vitrine and saw photographs of a young woman sitting in the apartment of Andre Breton when he lived in New York during World War II. In another photograph she and sister are hugging Frida Kahlo, who is recuperating in a New York hospital room.

    Drawing Surrealism Didactics 10.22.12.Pdf

    ^ Drawing Surrealism Didactics Drawing Surrealism is the first-ever large-scale exhibition to explore the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Although launched initially as a literary movement with the publication of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, surrealism quickly became a cultural phenomenon in which the visual arts were central to envisioning the world of dreams and the unconscious. Automatic drawings, exquisite corpses, frottage, decalcomania, and collage are just a few of the drawing-based processes invented or reinvented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. With surrealism, drawing, long recognized as the medium of exploration and innovation for its use in studies and preparatory sketches, was set free from its associations with other media (painting notably) and valued for its intrinsic qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. This exhibition reveals how drawing, often considered a minor medium, became a predominant mode of expression and innovation that has had long-standing repercussions in the history of art. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for Drawing Surrealism , aspires to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing. Drawing Surrealism is also the first exhibition to examine the impact of surrealist drawing on a global scale . In addition to works from well-known surrealist artists based in France (André Masson, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, among them), drawings by lesser-known artists from Western Europe, as well as from countries in Eastern Europe and the Americas, Great Britain, and Japan, are included.

    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.
