Parallel to the ‘Salvador Dalí Challenge’, FAAP opens, day 25 of June, a new exhibition in the Annie Alvares Penteado room, also in the MAB FAAP complex.
Titled ‘Surrealist Reverberations’, presents works from the FAAP Collection with 137 paintings, drawings, engravings, photographs and videos of 87 artists who were influenced by the surrealist movement.
With eight cores, the exhibition presents works in different languages by names such as Di Cavalcanti, Tarsila do Amaral and Wesley Duke Lee.
Among the cores, there are also works by photographers, contemporary artists and film posters from the Filmoteca FAAP collection.
Dalí Challenge
The extended exhibition features works currently separated in four different museums around the world.
The more than 100 Dalí's iconic works can be seen together for the first time in Brazil, thanks to a printing technology that ensures its reproduction and enlargement while maintaining the original colors and textures.
The new exhibition content in the country was brought directly from Spain under license and supervision by the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation.
This exhibition is an unmissable opportunity for Brazilians to explore the artist's surrealist universe and learn more about his avant-garde personality, respect for the craft of painter, his admiration for classical arts and his unconventional relationship with his wife Gala, among other things.
The life and work of a genius, whose work has influenced generations around the world, are presented in absolutely contemporary and accessible language.
Tickets include a free audio report, in podcast format, activated by cell phone with a QR code on the day of the visit, therefore, the use of smartphones and headphones further enriches the experience.
Organized by the Totex Institute, the objects, content and interactivity designed by the Spanish company ArtDidaktik are distributed across six exhibition areas, inviting you on a fascinating journey through the creative mind of the master of surrealism.
The new dates and times are now available on site or Fever app.
Discovering Dalí
Organized by decades, containing the evolution of his personal trajectory and production as a painter in parallel with the history of the 20th century that influenced him so much, This huge gallery has large backlit walls that allow visitors to see the works enlarged, in order to perceive details and understand the different techniques used by Dalí in his paintings.
Dali Polyhedral
Here visitors will see Dalí's illustrations for literary classics (as “Don Quixote”); his original scenography developed for theater and cinema (in works by Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock, for example); the goldsmith shop that gave rise to surreal jewelry collections; art direction and leadership in disruptive advertising campaigns; and the unpredictable appearances that transformed him into a filmmaker and producer of short films.
The Dalinian Atelier
The artist's main studio is recreated in a space that replicates that of the Salvador Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat, coast of Catalonia. The environment understands the influence of the studio on its main works, starting with El Cristo, passing the portraits of his wife Gala – countless times represented in all phases of the artist -, and culminating in great works such as The Discovery of America.
Surrealism
The public will walk through a tunnel designed for sensorial insertion into the most representative paintings of Dalí's work, being able to admire and interact with the possibilities dreamed by the artist. This walk is recorded and can be downloaded free of charge to visitors' smartphones.
Dual Interpretation and Stereoscopy Images
Featuring advanced scenography, special lighting features and 3D glasses on part of the route, Salvador Dalí's aesthetic and scientific experiments with the image world will lead the public to reflect on how the paths of art can influence, subvert or just please the human senses.
The Inspiration of Salvador Dalí
To end the visit, eight minutes long audiovisual content is offered, fully developed in virtual reality, with a soundtrack specially composed for the exhibition, enabling, through computer graphics, the perception of details that for years were invisible even to the greatest art critics and specialists in the painter's work.
Virtual reality glasses are offered free of charge here (VR) with headphones.
The exhibition has physical and communicational accessibility in all environments, in addition to trained monitors to assist the public, aiming to provide an enriching experience for all visitors.
