In this talk, Dawn Ades—a professor of art history and theory at the University of Essex who has published widely on Dada, surrealism, and photography—examines Dyn's distinctive character compared to other journals of the period and shows why it is considered a high point in the long history of the surrealists' engagement with pre-Columbian and First Nations art. A conversation with Associate Director Joanne Pillsbury and Exhibition Curator Annette Leddy follows the lecture. This lecture complements the exhibition Farewell to Surrealism: The Dyn Circle in Mexico, on view in the Research Institute Exhibition Gallery at the Getty Center from October 2, 2012, to April 14, 2013.
