Existentialism: Creativity and Nothingness
Join us for this month’s installment of our Coffee with a Curator series, where Museum staff or invited guests speak on a range of Salvador Dalí-inspired topics.
In conjunction with our special exhibition, Alberto Giacometti & Salvador Dalí: Through & Beyond Surrealism, we invite you to join us for a special talk by Madeline Martin-Seaver, exploring themes of Existentialism within the exhibition.
Existentialism is a term we often encounter in art, literature and philosophy, but what does it really mean? Join us for an exploration of this influential movement and discover how its core ideas and key figures help illuminate Giacometti’s haunting works. This talk will help you see the exhibition through fresh eyes and deepen your understanding of why existentialism resonated so powerfully with writers and artists of the mid-20th century.
Location: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater (registration required) or live on YouTube (link below).
This event is free with limited capacity. An event ticket is required for entry.
