Renate Bertlmann's work is included in the group exhibition The Traumatic Surreal that explore women’s experiences, using surrealist traditions to critique and subvert patriarchal constructions of women as ‘objects’.
The exhibition shows how surrealist traditions continue to provide these artists with productive forms through which these, and other, traumatic residues might be represented and negotiated. Embracing the capacity of surrealist art to shock or challenge, these artists show the continuing relevance of Surrealism’s disruptive potential.
The exhibition will be on view 22 November 2024 - 16 March 2025.
