International Seminar Surrealism and Its Double

Surrealism and its double aims to go beyond honoring its founding mythologies to reflect on that transformation, addressing how it has been read, interpreted, and reformulated over time and how those discourses have contributed to shaping its legacy.

During five consecutive Wednesdays, the focus will be on key aspects of this contemporary re-reading: the retrospective and critical vision, its cross-border and cosmopolitan character, and its ability to transcend disciplines and generations. In addition, the complex and rich relationship between Pablo Picasso and Surrealism will be explored, reviewing both his debated participation in the movement and the tensions that marked that link.

For this purpose, we will have a program of lectures by internationally renowned scholars, specialists in different aspects of surrealism, who will share their most recent research and their innovative approaches.

This seminar, codirected by Eugenio Carmona, Professor at the Universidad de Málaga and Miguel López-Remiro, Artistic Director of the Museo Picasso Málaga, is free —prior registration through the website of Museo Picasso Málaga—, and is aimed at all those interested in surrealism and its contemporary expressions, without distinction of training or specialization.
