Salvador Dalí: painting the unconscious
Discover how Salvador Dalí transformed the unconscious into art. Dalí’s extraordinary technique turned dreams, phantoms, and irrational objects into luminous visions. Drawing on his own writings, including 50 Secrets of Magical Craftsmanship, this lecture reveals how Dalí fused reason with delusion, and observation with invention, to make visible the mechanics of thought itself.

Art Lecture:
Surrealism’s Slippery Surface
Join Surrealism scholar Simon Weir for an engaging exploration of Surrealism’s profound philosophical and psychological dimensions. We’ll trace how André Breton, Salvador Dalí, and especially René Magritte advanced automatism from its roots in spiritualism to a powerful means of accessing the unconscious, shifting from physical techniques like automatic writing toward deeper psychological insights that could be communicated through text, image, object, cinema and architecture.
