Presented in conjunction with The Arts Club of Chicago's exhibition A Home for Surrealism, this two-day program explores the legacy of Surrealism in Chicago in all of its dimensions, from the histories of collecting and display of Surrealist works to the artistic practices that defined the movement in Chicago. Through a series of lectures and discussions, international scholars and historical practitioners of Surrealism examine the movement's story in Chicago from the standpoint of both local art institutions and activist politics, expanding awareness of Surrealism’s wide-ranging heritage in our city.
