Yes Sean, I was thinking about mentioning that. That exhibition was
one of those common examples of arties reinterpreting the past in
light of their own current interests. There were some very interesting
things there but I found the tenure of the exhibition as a whole to be
trivial and narrow and it gave the impression that those who organised
it just didn't get surrealism, and didn't really want to.
