DREAMLIKE! Surreal Realities: An Exhibition between Dream Logic and Image Poetry
In the Municipal Gallery at the Cultural Forum Traunstein, DREAMLIKE! Surreal Realities opens a multifaceted art experience that condenses painting, drawing, collage, installation, and film into an intense exhibition atmosphere. Six artists lead viewers into image spaces where the familiar tilts, the fantastic gains significance, and the contemplation of works becomes an aesthetic experience.
Between Reality and Imagination
The exhibition gathers positions from Uwe Bressnik, Franziska Eslami, Günther Schuhböck, Samuel Rachl, Uli Reiter, and Evelyn Thußbas. Their works reference surreal motifs and translate them into a contemporary visual language. Surrealism here does not appear as a historical citation but as a vibrant art movement that reposes questions about perception, memory, and media image production.
Material, Form, and Dream Trace
Particularly exciting is the interplay of media: Collages connect fragments into poetic image fields, drawings open fragile in-between spaces, painting condenses atmosphere and color, while film and installation make the space itself the subject. Thus, an exhibition emerges in which form and content, gesture and symbol, reality and fantasy constantly intertwine.
Surrealism in Today
The exhibition connects to the experimental tradition of surrealism, which has been exploring the irrational, the absurd, and the dreamlike since the 1920s. At the same time, it shows how current this visual language remains in the age of digital image floods, AI, and visual overlays. The presented works invite a re-examination of the boundaries between the inner world and the outer world.
Education, Tours, and Exhibition Visit
The Municipal Gallery Traunstein sees itself as a place of cultural education and offers a carefully curated program alongside the exhibition. A workshop is planned for children aged 7 and older, in addition to the series Art in the Morning and a concluding tour. School classes and groups can come outside regular opening hours upon request.
Conclusion
DREAMLIKE! Surreal Realities promises an inspiring look at contemporary art that sharpens the senses and fuels the imagination. Anyone interested in surrealism, contemporary art, and art historical references should experience this exhibition live and let the unique atmosphere of the Cultural Forum Traunstein impact them on-site.
