Comment concilier l'appel au rêve et le souci du réel, la psychanalyse et le matérialisme dialectique? La question se pose au surréalisme à la fin des années vingt, lorsque le mouvement, fondé par André Breton, se met «au service de la révolution». Cette allégeance suppose une remise en cause du rôle social de l'artiste, de la fétichisation marchande de ses œuvres, à quoi répond l'invention de l'objet surréaliste. Ce dictionnaire-catalogue qui accompagne l'exposition «Le surréalisme et l'objet», présentée au Centre Pompidou du 30 octobre 2013 au 3 mars 2014, retrace les étapes d'un questionnement, d'une création, qui provoque l'avènement de l'objet, fait proliférer la figure du mannequin et conduit à la mise en scène des expositions.

Summary:
Flowers and Mushrooms takes readers inside the rich and diverse symbolism of its eponymous subjects. Flowers have at times stood for freshness and fertility, transience and death. In addition to its ubiquitous and much-maligned image as a hallucinogen, the mushroom has throughout history signified health and life and served as an important symbol within religious ritual. In recent years though, flowers and mushrooms have become a focus in contemporary art, with artists manipulating the many clichés that surround them and adapting their representation to produce new and unexpected layers of meaning, from social criticism to feminism and the conceptual framework of the erotic.

In a daring act of historical reconstruction, the curator Germano Celant, in dialogue with Thomas Demand and Rem Koolhaas, has recreated Harald Szeemann’s epochal Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form, held at the Bern Kunsthalle in 1969, and installed by Celant at the magnificent Ca’ Corner della Regina in Venice in June–November 2013. Szeemann’s show was a dialogue with the Bern Kunsthalle, and Celant has reprised its spirit by placing the works in dialogue with the Ca’ Corner della Regina--a very different building, in its Venetian grandeur, to the Kunsthalle.
