SURREALISM NOW

An Open Call for Art from OCCCA. All media welcomed

It has risen from the crypt of art history, the only art movement relevant to our tortured times. Surrealism’s rank perfume permeates the galleries, the cinemas and the streets. Surrealism Now is a sinister cabaret, full of dreamers with eyes closed, sitting at the same table as insomniacs with nightmares. If you hear the siren song of Surrealism emanating from the angel trumpets of despair, indulge your insatiable desire for a gesture of defiance against everything that’s false and stupid: submit something sublime to Surrealism Now in the medium of your choosing --- painting, drawing, illustration, sculpture, assemblage, collage, photography, video, fashion, performance, street art, installation, and the artists’ book. Surrealism Now carries the torch for mad love, psychedelic art, crazed science, Medievalism, Romanticism, Victoriana, Punk, the uncanny, the grotesque, obsolete technology, and the eternal clash of the sacred with the profane. Slake our juror’s thirst for the strange elixir of your delirious and singular vision.
