Dreamers Awake: White Cube celebrates women Surrealists

White Cube Bermondsey in London presents 'Dreamers Awake,' a group exhibition featuring over fifty female artists from the Surrealist movement and their contemporary counterparts. The show runs until September 17, 2017, and includes works by historical figures such as Lee Miller, Claude Cahun, Leonora Carrington, and Louise Bourgeois, alongside contemporary artists like Julie Curtiss, Kiki Smith, Berlinde de Bruyckere, Mona Hatoum, Tracey Emin, and Shana Moulton. The exhibition challenges the patriarchal myth of the male genius in art history, offering a feminist re-reading of Surrealism through painting, sculpture, photography, video, and a weekly film program. Notably, performance art is largely absent except for portraits by Francesca Woodman and Gillian Wearing. The show is part of a recent wave of international exhibitions revisiting art history from a female perspective.
