Humanist Transhumanist - An Umbrella and Two Surrealists

Humanist Transhumanist -
An Umbrella and Two Surrealists
Demetrios Vakras & Lee-Anne Raymond

17 June – 5 July 2009
Opening: 18 June 6pm
Artist Talk: 6pm Thursday 2 July

Surrealists Demetrios Vakras and Lee-Anne Raymond will be exhibiting their recent surrealist visions.

Within the historic and industrial interiors of Guildford Lane Gallery it is primarily the intention of the presentation to provide an alternative understanding of Surrealism, one that is outside the historical constraint, which sees the Second World War as the terminus of the movement.

The timing is to take advantage of the opening of an exhibition in Melbourne’s NGV in June 2009 showcasing works by Salvador Dalí. This represents a not to be missed opportunity for these local Surrealists to present their work and attract attention for their art.

The presentation overall will provide lovers and newly attracted enthusiasts of the Surreal and Fantastic with an outstanding and alternative viewing experience to what are generally mainstream and historic representations. It will be an unapologetic display of the surreal, the fantastic and symbolic with accompanying catalogue – manifesto.
