Dreamlike! Surreal Realities – Art That Lets Reality Dream

Dreamlike! Surreal Realities – An Invitation to Sensual Work Observation

In the City Gallery at the Cultural Forum Traunstein, the group exhibition Dreamlike! unfolds the aesthetic experience of the surreal: painting, drawing, object art, film, and collage merge into an exhibition atmosphere where picture spaces tilt, materials irritate, and imagination grapples with reality.

Between Dream Logic and Reality: Spaces, Images, Tilting Moments

Curatorially clearly zoned spaces lead from color-saturated picture surfaces to delicate line structures, from object-like assemblages to cinematic image sequences. Forms overlap, shadows become speaking actors; light directs the gaze, obscures contours, and opens resonance spaces for an intense artistic experience.

Material, Gesture, Trace: How the Visible Emerges

Painting shows pastose condensations next to glistening veils; drawing makes precise placements next to exploring movements. Collages connect found objects into poetic image fields, while objects performatively expand the exhibition space. In the film works, montage, rhythm, and image symbolism intertwine into a time-based work observation.

Art Historical Context: Surrealism Today

The exhibition anchors current positions in the long echo of surrealism. Building on automatism, the eros of form, and the unconscious, the works exhibited update this art movement for contemporary themes: body and space, perception and media image, memory and city.

Communication and Cultural Education

The City Gallery sees itself as a place of mediation. Regular guided tours and discussions open access to material, motif, and era. Groups and school classes can request special tours; admission is free – ideal for focused, decelerated work observation without time pressure.

Conclusion: Those who want to experience color, form, and fantasy in dense spatial effect will find a precisely curated exhibition here. Dreamlike! promises a lasting aesthetic experience – come, see, and let the images continue to work.
