Polish Surrealism Exhibition at Mulhouse Kunsthalle Juxtaposes Avant-Garde and Contemporary Artists

At Kunsthalle in Mulhouse, Alsace, the exhibition titled 'The Night of the Great Season' features a blend of Polish Surrealism and neo-Surrealism, presenting a unique collaboration between historical avant-garde artists and modern creators. Among those showcased are Tadeusz Kantor, Erna Rosenstein, Bruno Schulz, Alina Szapocznikow, Tomasz Kowalski, Agnieszka Polska, and Jakub Julian Ziółkowski, marking the first time these artists have been displayed together in a Surrealist framework. The exhibition's name alludes to Bruno Schulz's 1933–1934 work 'The Cinnamon Shops'. Notably, Rosenstein's pieces are exhibited in Europe for the first time since the 1980s. Drawing inspiration from Jakub Banasiak's 2009 publication 'Tired of Reality', it indicates that the exploration of Polish Surrealism is just beginning.
