Project

100 year surrealism – In dialogue with surrealist creation methods.

This doctoral project articulates how surrealist creation methods and thinking tools influence and are used by contemporary artists today. Therefor a surrealist toolbox will be created (a non-exhaustive description of surrealist methods and thoughts) that forms a base for dialogue, interviews and collaborations with contemporary artist and art students today.By means of workshops and surrealist 'sparkling water-salons', specific themes, methods and international legacies of the surrealist movement are treated by students, experts and artists. Through collaborations with contemporary artists, the surrealist methods are practiced and analysed from the inside.These dialogues and collaborations result in a toolbox, a constellation of collaborative artworks, and a thesis with findings.
