“What today’s art is doing under the auspices of the object harks back to the principles embodied by the Surrealist object.”¹

The exhibition “L’Objet surréaliste” explores the questions about sculpture and objects raised by Surrealism, while echoing the exhibition “Le Surréalisme et l’Objet” held at the Centre Pompidou from 30 October 2013 to 3 March 2014, which featured works by Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux, Philippe Mayaux and Alina Szapocznikow, among others.

The exhibition explores this use of the everyday object as a means of “subverting the real without denying it.”
