Exhibition: Locus Solus. Impressions by Raymond Roussel

E-mail

The storm tossed vessel. Henri Rousseau

"Locus Solus", a novel starred by strange machines and unlikely works of art, is the name of the villa where these treasures are hoarded. "Impressions of Africa" is about papier mache's adventures, similar to those by Le Douanier Rousseau.

Raymond Roussel was admired by Marcel Duchamp and Dadaists, surrealists around Salvador Dalí, the artists of the Pataphysical school... and so many more until today. After reading his eccentric literature, you won't be surprised that Raymond Roussel had been adopted by the most extravagant artists.

The exhibition at the Reina Sofía Museum is more than a tribute to a writer so important and influent to the artists: it is an occasion to explore Duchamp's universe with the complementary point of view of surrealism, and a fantastic visual display of the power and skill of the language and other artistic weaves.

Fun is guaranteed!
