Histoire de ne pas rire

Surrealism in Belgium

21 February → 16 June '24

Bozar celebrates 100 years of surrealism with a unique exhibition on Belgium’s famous avant-garde movement. In 1924 surrealist activities also started in our country with bold pamphlets by artists including poet Paul Nougé. Belgium’s quirky surrealists go beyond the purely aesthetic – they want to transform the world with their subversive art.

In ‘Histoire de ne pas rire’, we pay extra attention to their international interactions, political-historical background, and important women artists. The exhibition includes works by Paul Nougé, René Magritte, Jane Graverol, Marcel Mariën, Rachel Baes, Leo Dohmen, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Salvador Dalí, Georgio de Chirico, and many others.
