Surrealist Vacation Resort Los Angeles 2023 / Surrealist Vacation Resort Cologne 2023

The Surrealist Project – Vacations in the Subconscious – created and curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne 2023 for The New Museum of Networked Art and the collaboration with Torrance Art Museum – will be presented during the 7 weeks lasting “Summer Camp”/exhibition – 22 July – 9 September 2023 – entirely including about 200 art videos by 180 artists from 50 countries, whereby divided into two parts one part of The Surrealist Project will be presented at the physical Darkroom @ Torrance Art Museum, and the other part simultaneously at the virtual space of Alphabet Art Centre Cologne – both venues (Los Angeles/Cologne) will screen each week another curated video art program – in total 14 programs in this Transatlantic collaboration, whereby the virtual space of Alphabet Art Centre – functioning as a server hosting the project online – is not reduced to the location of Cologne, of course, but representing an extension of the physical exhibition, as well as any place in the world outside of Los Angeles providing Internet access. After the exhibition period, all video programs will be available streaming at the Darkroom at Alphabet Art Centre.
