SURREALISM & L'OBJET AT THE CENTRE POMPIDOU
Closing in a few short weeks is this large-scale exhibition devoted to Surrealist sculptural techniques. From Marcel Duchamp’s first ready-made – the famous “porte-bouteille” (bottle rack) of 1914 – to Miró’s sculptures of the late sixties, and with rooms dedicated to found objects or Hans Bellmer’s doll, the exhibition looks back over the various stages of the Surrealists’ daring stance in sculpture through the use of everyday objects. As the “objectification of the dream”, the object, in their eyes, was an effective means for poetically subverting reality.
