CYCLES in SURREALISM

OCTOBER 19th 2024

Curated by Sonny O’Brien and Jake Sun

House Conspiracy presents a group exhibition in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Andre Breton's first Surrealist Manifesto.

The influence that a century of Surrealism has had on contemporary life and art is inestimable, and so too are the benefits of the emancipatory tools the movement's pioneers helped bring to attention and action. Cycles of Surrealism celebrates this momentous centennial as an expression of gratitude for the efforts of those thus far (both recognised and not) whom have carried the torch, but also as a significant opportunity to connect with some sparks of a persistently burning reminder; Surrealism lives!

In life, as in dream, Surrealism refuses to be relegated to or dictated by the past, for the present necessity for fanning the flames of emancipatory action and relation is far too vital.

We acknowledge that this event will take place on the stolen lands of the Jagera and Turrbal people. Their sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

We acknowledge the Turrbal and Yugara people, the First Nations custodians of the lands where House Conspiracy now stands and that sovereignty has never been ceded. We pay respect to their Elders, lores, customs and creation spirits, recognising that these lands have always been places of teaching, creativity and learning. We acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people play within our community.
