With works by: Eva-Maria Wilde, Bernhard Schreiner, Mona Kuschel, Hanno Millesi, Adrian Williams, Nora Schultz, Mandla Reuter, Annette Ruenzler, Manuel Gorkiewicz
“Stolen from my subconscious” is based on a historical occurence that took place in 1936: Salvador Dalí is invited to take part in the first big, international Surrealist exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism. At the same time Joseph Cornell’s surrealist film masterpiece Rose Hobart premiers in the famous Julien Levy Gallery. Dalí is in town and attends the event. During the screening of the film Dalí becomes extremely agitated. He shouts “Salaud!” and even knocks over the projector. Reportedly Dalí explains after being asked what has got into him that Cornell just made the film Dalí himself always wanted to make. Cornell, this bastard, he claims, stole it from his subconscious!
Prior to the opening of the exhibition, which starts at 7pm, the “Zeitgeist Varieté” starts at 5pm. Participants include Martina Aschbacher, Studio Manager; Ann Cotten, Author; Friedemann Heckel, Acne; Stephan Landwehr, Bilderrahmen Landwehr, Grill Royal; Alexander Schröder, Galerie Neu; Nathanja Westerheide and Julia Rech, American Apparel; Eva-Maria Wilde, Artist; Goor & Poison Ivory, Magician and Balloon Folder. Moderated by Adrian Williams and Kerstin Cmelka.
The “Zeitgeist Varieté” is already fully booked, but there will be a live video streaming on the first floor of KW's front house.
