Surrealism Off The Wall
If you missed Surrealism Beyond Borders at The Met, which closed recently, here is another chance to catch something from the show.

This isn't the full experience — but the slides do provide wall texts that are a take on the Surrealists, who set out to defy description and mine the realm of dreams almost a century ago.

I appreciated the chance to learn more about the influence of the Surrealists outside the usual Paris-New York focus, taking into consideration Chicago, Mexico City, Cairo, and the many other places where artists back in the day grappled with the transgressive subconscious.
