20th century Surrealism couldn’t have predicted how surreal the 21st would actually become. Like the floor on view here, the new virtuality of surface makes Magritte’s paintings a reality, a drag and drop physicality positioning images into the real. That we now live submerged in dreamscapes, that this why art today is so much surrealist theater, Marxist or otherwise, that more and more it mirrors the world in which we live. “Trapped in an ambiguous position between an object and the representation of that object;” like so many surrealist crimescenes, who spilled the vegetables, the engaged tubes pouring in through the window.
