THE SUPERSURREALISM

Malmö

Featuring more than 100 works, THE SUPERSURREALISM takes off on a 450-year voyage into the subconscious. The exhibition looks at the time before, during and after the surrealist period, in an attempt to explore how surrealism is expressed today – does it still have its power to shock, surprise and outrage?

Apart from classic surrealism, a substantial part of the exhibition consists of works from the post-war period until today. Contemporary works by artists such as Nathalie Djurberg and Magnus Wallin and a spectacular new work by Carsten Höller are juxtaposed with post-war existential depths, 1960s psychedelic art, sexual liberation and transcendental approaches to identity. The prehistory of surrealism will also be dealt with in a spatial curiosity cabinet.
