  1976 World Surrealist Exhibition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Surrealist Exhibition was held at Gallery Black Swan in Chicago in 1976.
As the name suggests, broader in scope than previous "international" exhibitions, it featured hundreds of works almost exclusively from contemporary participants in surrealism from thirty-one[1] countries.
Its catalogue, containing reproductions of selected works in the exhibition as well as a blueprint of the gallery, was entitled Marvelous Freedom/Vigilance of Desire.

Surrealists revived interest in Isidore Ducasse, known by his pseudonym “Le Comte de Lautréamont” and for the line “beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella”, and Arthur Rimbaud, two late 19th century writers believed to be the precursors of Surrealism.
Marxists have critique the surrealists for being revolutionaries merely in their own minds, while living the lifes of self-indulgent bourgeois intellectuals who were not serious collaborators of actual social and political revolutionary movements and actions, although a number of them did so collaborate as individuals.

Dada was based primarily on the rejection of catagories and labels, and rooted in negative response to the First World War, surrealism advocated the idea that the ordinary and depictive were still vital and important, but that the sense of arrangement should, and indeed must, be open to the full range of imagination.
In addition to Surrealist ideas finding their genesis in the ideas of Hegel, Marx and Freud, surrealism is seen by its advocates as being inherently dynamic and claims to be dialectic in its thought.
Surrealist groups have also drawn on sources as seemingly diverse as Bugs Bunny, comic strips, the obscure poet Samuel Greenberg and the hobo writer and humourist T-Bone Slim.

 Chicago Surrealist Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chicago Surrealist Group was founded in July, 1966 by Franklin and Penelope Rosemont, after their 1965 trip to Paris where they attended meetings of the Paris Surrealist Group and met André Breton.
Its initial members came from radical backgrounds such as the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and indeed the Chicago Surrealist Group edited an issue of Radical America, the SDS journal.
The group played a major role in organizing the 1976 World Surrealist Exhibition in Chicago, the surrealist issue of the journal Race Traitor, and the first exhibition of exquisite corpses in the United States, "Totems Without Taboos," at the Heartland Cafe in Chicago.

In 1976 I made the acquaintance of members of the Chicago Surrealist Group, just in time to hang out with them for the duration of their fabulous World Surrealist Exhibition.
While many elements of traditional religion and culture continue to exert great influence on large segments of humanity, I think it is fair to say that the developed world has strayed a long way from the context in which these traditions were rooted.
Now that I'm older I find that I can access other worlds and perspectives through the exercise of active imagination, and that life throws me into plenty of altered states — high, low and otherwise — without need for regular recourse to chemical means.
