Surrealism in 2012: Toward the World of the Fifth Sun
January 6-February 19, 2012, GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Reading, Pa.
Opening Reception: First Friday January 6, 2012 5:30-7:30pm
Happy new year! As we celebrate the Winter Solstice of Year 2012, the beginning of the 14th baktun (cycle) in the Maya long count calendar, and the fifth rebirth of our Sun, a multitude of surrealist artists and writers from many countries have propelled their works into a long-awaited exhibition honoring this theme, in keeping with that movement´s principle of “poetry made by all” and solidarity with the indigenous world. There is no doubting the astronomical and mythopoetic genius of the people who created this approaching historical marker. This gathering of creative forces in Eastern Pennsylvania represents the first collective manifestation of the ongoing surrealist movement in that part of the United States. It is a rare opportunity to experience the stimulating atmosphere of authentic surreality apart from the academicism or media distortion so often identified with that word.
GoggleWorks Center for the Arts is a community art and cultural resource center for Berks County, Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania, and is the largest, most comprehensive interactive arts center of its kind in the country. Call: 610-374-4600
