TRANSGRESSIVE
SURREALISM

Surrealism
was, from its outset, transgressive. It has since
been stripped of its transgressive nature and reduced to art
that can be clever, imaginary, "magic realism", or the
illustration of religious ideas. This site is intended to
remedy the misconceptions that have reduced surrealist art
in the half century that has elapsed since the death of
Breton to being nothing more than imaginative or quirky art
without political substance.

This site will highlight art that is polemical and critical
of the political, social, cultural and religious agendas
that guide various governments and various societies and
cultures to seek to suppress and oppress ideas they have
disagreement with; or used by governments to protect ideas
from analysis or criticism (ie, the protection of religious
edicts from criticism). The art and ideas herein challenge
the received wisdom that has seen, in countries such as
Australia (and Canada in particular), a slow erosion of a
fundamental right to freely criticise ideas.
