Dreamers Awake’, 
@ White Cube 
(Bermondsey),
London
— 

Woman has a
powerful presence
in Surrealism. She
is the object of
masculine desire
and fantasy; a
harpy, goddess
or sphinx; a
mystery or
threat.

En ton absence, 
vois-tu, les choses 
devenaient encore 
plus claires qu’elles 
nel’étaient sous le 
feu de ton regard gai”  
– Alain Jouffroy

Sunset Décor: 
Recalls this late 
work of Marcel 
Broodthaers and 
its wide range of 
cultural and political 
references to the 
social context of 
its time, including 
the declining genre 
of Western movies 
of the late 1960’s 
and the uncertain 
ending of the 
Vietnam War. 
“At a time when 
populations, cultures 
and the environment 
are fighting to resist 
conservative thinking 
and political assault, 
Sunset Décor puts 
into perspective the 
instrumentalization, 
now as then, of 
nature, the individual 
and the land for the 
production of a 
symbolic order in 
the name of 
freedom, civilization 
and democracy.”
