Academic Sessions: London 1997
The Legacies of Surrealism
Convener:
Fiona Bradley (Tate Gallery Liverpool)
This session will examine the continuing dominance of surrealism in debates about modern and contemporary art: the ways in which the artistic, descriptive and critical vocabulary formulated within and around surrealism structures the practice, the exhibition and the critical reception of modern and contemporary art.
Papers examine the legacies of surrealism in modern and contemporary art: the survival of surrealism into other art movements and instances, and the intersection of surrealist ideas and ideals with contemporary art and theory.
