4 December 2009
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, UEA, Norwich
Organised by Kimberley Marwood and Majella Munro
This one day symposium explored how Surrealism, despite Breton's intolerance, attracted a formidable array of queer artists and writers, photographers, and filmmakers. These "other" Surrealists were crucial to Surrealism's reception outside of France. They also laid the groudwork for creative negotiations of the body, gender, and sexuality by more recent generations of artists.
To coincide with the exhibition Subversive Spaces: Surrealism and Contemporary Art, the 7th Annual PhD symposium of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and its Legacies was held at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, UEA on December 4th 2009.
Sponsored by the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and Its Legacies.
