The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and the Centre Pompidou have organized a multi-venue exhibition on Surrealism, marking the 100th anniversary of Andre Breton’s First Surrealist Manifesto.
Each venue will showcase its unique curatorial perspective emphasizing the institution’s collection and the relationship of the country/region with the propagation, transmutation, and, in some cases, resistance to Surrealist ideas.
The exhibition began at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels where it was titled Imagine! 100 Years of Surrealism, and is currently at the Centre Pompidou (Surréalisme) through January 13, 2025. The exhibition will then travel to Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid (1924. Other Surrealisms), Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg (Rendezvous of Dreams), and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100) where it will close in 2026.
Lorser Feitelson’s Genesis (#2), 1934, and Helen Lundeberg’s Plant and Animal Analogies, 1935, are included in the current iteration of the exhibition at the Pompidou.
