The Proper Meaning

"Everything leads us to believe that there exists a state of mind where life and death, the real and the imaginary, the past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, no longer seem contradictory"

–Andre Breton, The Surrealist Manifesto, 1924

The Proper Meaning is a group exhibition that brings together artists from different periods of the 20th century all sharing an interest in the surreal. The exhibition will include paintings, sculptures and drawings.
