Charting the development of Surrealism from the 1930s to its present-day revival, this exhibition will present some of the most outstanding Surrealists from Poland, the former Czechoslovakia and the former Yugoslavia and will span painting, drawing, illustration, sculpture and video works as well as an assortment of archival materials. A contested movement in the Eastern European avant-gardes, Surrealism evolved in highly original local varieties, with Czechoslovakia initially leading the charge in close alliance with artists in Paris, the centre of the movement. The seminal artist Toyen (1902-1980) was a defining figure in this regard, leading the identification of the painter with the poet. The aesthetic connection between poetry and painting, particularly in the form of dream writing, was shared by the Polish Surrealists Erna Rosenstein (1913-2004) and Maria Anto (1936-2007). The title of the exhibition is taken from Anto’s dream writing dating 1975 relating to her daughter Zuzia. Polish-Jewish avant-garde painter, architect and montage artist Teresa Zarnower (1895/1897-1949) shared Toyen’s deeply felt political concerns during the war-torn years. Traumatic experiences are prevalent in the works of Polish-Jewish artists and illustrators Franciszka Themerson (1907-1988) and Erna Rosenstein (1913-2004) and in the visceral sculptures of Czech artist Eva Kmentová (1928-1980) in the 1960s and 70s. Toyen’s trailblazing modern iconography of transgressive sexualities and haunting fantastical speculation finds recurrence in the corporeal post-war assemblage sculptures by Alina Szapozcnikow, and in the erotic paintings and illustrations of twin-sisters Alicja and Bożena Wahl (*1932, Alicja passed away in 2020) whose libertine self-expressions breathe the spirit of the sexual revolution set against the backdrop of 1970s Communist Poland. The exhibition not only highlights the development of surrealism across Eastern European avant- gardes, but also acts as a reminder of women’s unique contribution to the movement, specific to the region – from the psychologically charged architectural and urban structures of Anto to the apocalyptic landscapes of Zofia Rydet (1911-1997). Serbian painter Ljiljana Blazevska’s (1944-2020) retro-modernist “poetic infantilism” was predated by Milena Pavlović-Barili’s (1909-1945) paintings and fashion illustrations for American Vogue, placed in Medieval and Renaissance settings, fusing Surrealist iconography with high fashion. Featuring over 50 works, the exhibition showcases the practice of contemporary female artists reinvested in a post-surrealist language alongside their historical counterparts. Stanislava Kovalcikova (*1988) continues an important dissident female legacy by confronting abject, controversial themes diverging from popular morale and tastes in the medium of painting. Agata Slowak’s (*1994) work focuses on topics related to gender and feminism and the role of ritual and magic as alternative forms of knowledge transfer and community-making among women, showing a conscious influence by first generation Surrealist Lenore Fini. Joanna Wos’ (*1991) paintings share Slowak’s and Kovalcikova’s highly ambiguous narratives of non- normative sexual interplay. Her female protagonists are not shown as center-stage subjects immersed in dreamy scenarios of libidinal and moral conflict. Margo Litvinova (*1998) and Oleksandra Tsapko (*2002) round off the exhibition with their collaborative short film The Bee (2023), a surrealist exploration of the unbearable burden that every Ukrainian who was forced to flee their home with the outbreak of war experiences every day.
