The International Museum's Day will be celebrated on Sunday, May 18. The admission is free all day.
Tampere Art Museum’s large-scale international exhibition Surrealism – A Collective Dream displays Surrealism’s visions of reality as the movement celebrates its centenary and presents encounters between its pioneers and prominent contemporary artists. Central themes include identity, gender, technology and mental health viewed from different perspectives.
The exhibition examines Surrealism and its impacts from the 1920s to the present day. The works of the original Surrealists engage with the interpretations of succeeding generations. The dialogue between these works shows that Surrealism is not just an historical movement, but rather one whose influence extends up to the present day. The themes and subjects of the avantgarde seem more topical today than ever.
The exhibition, which is divided thematically into six sections with over 100 works, presents the diversity of Surrealist art: paintings, prints, sculptures, photographs and films.
The video collage Heaven´s Gate of the world-famous contemporary artist and filmmaker Marco Brambilla (2022) is shown in the basement gallery of the museum as part of the exhibition.
The exhibition has been organized in cooperation with the German Institut für Kulturaustausch.
