		Alyce Mahon Uncanny Boundaries in the 1938 International Surrealist Exhibition
		This paper will address the role of the International Surrealist Exhibition in the history of the Surrealist movement, presenting it as a collective enterprise which challenged the boundaries of the viewing experience, and attempted to liberate sexual, social and political inhibitions, through a radically new approach to the exhibition space.
		Mahon argues that the Surrealists’ aim to recover ‘psychic force’ and erotic desire in the exhibition was founded upon a radical and subversive celebration of the feminine as a locus for the uncanny.

		The Surrealists plotted ways of extending such beauty into all areas of human activity, and commitment to political revolution was for many of them the inevitable corollary of their idealism.
		Surrealist activism continued unabated, notably during the official 1931 Colonial Exhibition in Paris, which was met by an ambitious counter-exhibition, The Truth about the Colonies, with sections on forced labour and institutional violence, and a satirical display of European "fetishes" and religious objects.
		The Surrealist campaign to subvert cliches and to allow words to "make love on the page" was central to their strategy for disrupting mental sclerosis and triggering a revolution in human consciousness and expectations.

	Surrealist Documents: Michael Vandelaar
		The hue and cry raised by critics over the early surrealists' attitude toward music was no doubt mainly due to the surrealists' refusal to reduce their interrogation of music (or of anything, for that matter!) to a mere voicing of esthetic affection.
		surrealist's first tract and the nickname of Chicago certainly appear in a new light — a light which exudes from the oneiric solitude in the eye of a crystal ball, endlessly and indefatigably exploring the possibilities of a desirable future of desire supreme — a veritable weather forecast of the Pleasure Principle.
		The surrealists in the U.S. have from the very beginning stressed the vitality and importance of the fl musical evidence, and its growing influence on the evolution of the movement is reaffirmed at every turn of its thought.

	Surrealists Ioannina 2004
		Surrealist groups preserved their independence, both from the dominant institutions, through which the ideological production percolates, and the political bureaucracies that imposed a monopoly of knowledge on the historical revolutionary movements.
		Surrealistic activity, according to this meaning, doesn't produce works of art, but intends to reconfigure the relationship between humans and the objects of the world, and mainly the relationship of humans among themselves, towards a direction that dispenses with any sort of moral, aesthetic or rational preconceptions.
		International surrealist movement opens up a ground of such collective seeking, and this is the reason why it didn't take us long to join it.

		Therefore, the paintings are arranged simply by the period in which they were made, allowing for a better appreciation of their evolution.
		For contemporary artists, there are risks of 1) succumbing to a fetishistic nostalgia for antiquated mechanical techniques (imitatively, even in response to the surrealist paintings of yesteryear) and 2) vapidly using modern technologies such as computer generated/edited photographic imagery, without a trace of poetic thought.
		Surrealist painters could not bring even the most evidently free of their creations to light were it not for the 'visual remains' of external perceptions.

		The surrealist artists introduced the theory of the liberation of desire through the invention of techniques that aimed to reproduce the mechanisms of dreams.
		The movement subsequently spread abroad to achieve international renown with the 1936 exhibitions in London and New York, then in Tokyo in 1937 and in Paris in 1938.
		It constitutes a surrealist object, close to a ready-made with its mass-produced table, but with the stuffed fox introducing an "objet trouvé" (found object), an idea that is specific to Surrealism: this is an object which in itself has an effect on the spectator by virtue of its strong symbolic connotations.

		Surrealists diagnosis of the "problem" of the realism and capitalist civilisation is a restrictive overlay of false rationality, including social and academic convention, on the free functioning of the instinctual urges of the human mind.
		Many Surrealist artists regarded their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, and Breton was explicit in his belief that Surrealism was first and foremost a revolutionary movement.
		Surrealists have also drawn on sources as seemingly diverse as Clark Ashton Smith, Montague Summers, Fantomas, Bugs Bunny, comic strips, the obscure poet Samuel Greenberg and the hobo writer and humourist T-Bone Slim.

	Leonor Fini at Weinstein Gallery
		Leonor Fini never considered herself a Surrealist at all, though she maintained close personal relationships with several members of the group (including Max Ernst and Leonora Carrington) and included work in several important Surrealist exhibitions in the 1930s.
		Although she shared the Surrealist interest in dream, reverie, psychic transformation, and a poetics of suggestion and allusion, her work remains firmly rooted in the traditions of Symbolism, Metaphysics and Italian and German Romanticism.
		Merging the precise and technically proficient drawing that she had learned from Ozenfant with the Surrealist's cultivation of the dream, the unconscious and the irrational, she would go on to produce a long series of paintings and writings based on a belief in psychic and spiritual journeys and transformations.

	Surrealist Documentary: Reviewing the Real
		In Surrealist documentary and Surrealist films in general, the realistic effect is used to hook the viewer into the world represented by the film in order to disrupt taken-for-granted assumptions about that world (3).
		Although not theorized by the Surrealists in relation to the moving image, this excess can be been seen as an expression of the 'marvellous', the Surrealists' equivalent of the (film) Impressionists' photogénie – the transfiguring power of the photographic image which somehow exceeds artistic experience.
		Surrealist Jacques Brunius in Violons d'Ingres (1939) brought together portraits of a number of individuals – termed inspirés – whose obsessive ambitions led them to create objects to which society attaches no value, but which serve to externalise their inner worlds or what Breton called a “spectacular explosion of desire” (33).

		In the same year, DalÃ had important professional exhibitions and officially joined the surrealist group in the Montparnasse quarter of Paris (although his work had already been heavily influenced by surrealism for two years).
		References to DalÃ in the context of science are made in terms of his fascination with the paradigm shift that accompanied the birth of quantum mechanics in the twentieth century.
		When he fell into the circle of mostly Marxist surrealists who denounced as enemies the monarchists on one hand and the anarchists on the other, DalÃ explained to them that he personally was an anarcho-monarchist.

		Had we been allowed to stay in London, we would have missed this important exhibition entirely, and we may well have been unable to meet André Breton, who became seriously ill a few months later.
		As it turned out, the exhibition, titled L'Ecart absolu (Absolute Divergence), gave us a splendid idea of the current orientation of the surrealist movement as well as its latest manifestations in the visual arts, and made it easier to meet the surrealists of France and other countries.
		From André Breton's Nadja to Gellu Naum's Zenobia, surrealists have found the fortuitous encounter to be an unparalleled provoker of sparks, electricity, an exchange of electrons, and above all a transmitter of spontaneous knowledge and therefore a means of revolutionizing everyday life.

	Breton Biography
		In 1936, as Breton rightly observed in "Nonnational Boundaries of Surrealism," the International Surrealist Exhibition in London marked the highest point of surrealism's influence.
		Overshadowed by new intellectual and artistic fashions and discredited by a powerful political organization that gave pride of place to former surrealists such as Aragon and Eluard who had faithfully espoused the cause of Stalinism, surrealism was unable effectively to reenter the struggle for intellectual dominance.
		It aims to free the imagination from the mechanism of psychic and social repression, so that the inspiration and inspiration and exaltation heretofore regarded as the exclusive domain of poets and artists will be acknowledged as the common property of all.

		Breton, as the central figure of the surrealist movement, not only published its most thorough explanations of its techniques, aims and ideas, but was the individual who drew in, and occasionally expelled, writers, artists and thinkers.
		Surrealists believe that "non-Western" cultures also provide a continued source of inspiration for surrealist activity because some may strike up a better balance between instrumental reason and the imagination in flight than Western culture.
		He has never participated in the surrealist movement or in any surrealist activity, but there are arguably some aspects of many of his films that are of surrealist interest.

		He was soon to meet Jouve and to encounter the spiritual dimension he found lacking in Surrealist poetry.

		Back in London, David Wright, John Heath-Stubbs and George Barker helped ground him in English poetry, especially the Metaphysicals, but his addiction to amphetamines led him to Hartwell House, a benign home for the mentally disturbed outside London.
