Surrealism – A Collective Dream

Surrealism – A Collective Dream celebrates the one-hundred-year history of international surrealist art. This full-house exhibition explores surrealist art’s vision of reality, highlighting encounters between the movement’s pioneers and notable contemporary artists. The immersive and striking exhibition offers a multifaceted exploration of the art movement.

Featuring Marco Brambilla

As part of the Surrealism exhibition, media art by Marco Brambilla, an Italian-born artist based in London, will be shown in the Nordic countries for the first time. His work Heaven’s Gate (2022), featured in Tampere, has been regarded as a commentary on American maximalism and the onslaught of imagery, serving as a kind of metaverse or hyperreality for our time.

Joel Slotte is the artist for the Light Gallery

Joel Slotte’s "Mosse and Tattooed Friends" juxtaposes mythical creatures and medieval medicinal herbs with symbols of death metal music and pop surrealism. The Light Gallery artworks will be projected onto the walls of buildings in Tampere city centre starting from 24 October. The Light Gallery is part of the Tampere Festival of Light programme.
