"Le Manifeste du Surréalisme" 100 years anniversary exhibition in St-Cirq-Lapopie, France September 28th to October 13th

Georges Adéagbo will create a new assemblage dedicated to André Breton.

From the official press release: Radicale1924 celebrates the 100th anniversary of the First Surrealist Manifesto by paying tribute to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie and its heritage as a village of art and artists. On the occasion of the centenary celebration of the publication of the Surrealist Manifesto, it seems essential that Radicale 1924 continues the village's legacy as an artists' village, demonstrating its commitment to encouraging artistic exploration and collaboration. The 100th anniversary of André Breton’s First Surrealist Manifesto, published in 1924, offers us an exceptional opportunity to revisit surrealism in the light of our times. Collaborating with the avant-garde becomes a way to question cultural history and explore creative methods that combine research and practice to be both disruptive and propositional.

Over three years, "Radicale 1924” hosted 35 international artists and writers in residence at Maison Routier, offering a series of public events. This final celebration in Maison Andre Breton is presented as a collection of original works from Radicale 1924 in dialogue with previously unseen works and documents from the private and public collections of our artistic advisors.

It is a multidisciplinary artistic event that integrates itself into the unique topography of the village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie.
