\nAT KOLAJ FEST NEW ORLEANS<\/p>\n

The Surrealist Salon
\nDress in Costume :: Get Weird :: #BEDADA<\/h2>\n

Saturday, July 13, 7PM to 9PM
\nCafe Istanbul, New Orleans<\/h3>\n

In the Russian short story, Hoc Nos<\/em>, Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol observed, \u201cPerfect nonsense goes on in the world. Sometimes there is no plausibility at all.\u201d In a world of brutal rationality, an evening of perfect nonsense is exactly what is needed. Welcome to the Surrealist Salon.<\/p>\n

On Saturday evening at Kolaj Fest New Orleans, we will come together for The Surrealist Salon, an evening of collage, community, and culture. Inspired by The Rothschild Surrealist Ball<\/a>, our salon will have collage animations, stories, music, and art. Attendees are encouraged to embrace New Orleanians’ love of costumes<\/a> and join us for a remarkable evening in which we “evoke the mystery without which the world would not exist\u201d and have a good time doing so.<\/p>\n

Among the activities planned: The CollabSlab, a large collaborative collage made during Kolaj Fest New Orleans, will be ceremoniously cut into pieces and given away. Paul & Kathryn Kramer Waters will screen a collage video. Elke Desutter will share a selection of body parts collected during the festival. Mia van Leeuwen will lead a collage performance of THINGS:SPEAK. Collage Animations made at Kolaj Fest New Orleans will be shared. And a parade of collage-inspired costumers will compete for a chance to crush the Golden Egg.<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 Breton told us, \u201cThe imaginary is what tends to become real.\u201d The Surrealist Salon is an opportunity to manifest this idea in a spirit of fun and joy.<\/p>\n
