ABOUT

Diane Rosenstein Fine Art is pleased to present Unsparing Quality, a group show curated by Farrah Karapetian. The exhibition poses the question: where do Surrealist impulses manifest in contemporary practice, and why are we seeing this now? The response involves three generations of artists who engage the legacy of Surrealist practice and offer work that investigates the subtle madness of the ordinary world. 

The title of this exhibition is derived from André Breton's First Manifesto of Surrealism (1924): "Beloved imagination, what I like most in you is your unsparing quality." The imagination does not forgive nor does it spare the dreamer the pain and pleasure of everyday life. This exhibition includes photographs, drawing, video, and sculpture by twenty-eight artists - each an investigation into the poetic potential of the Everyday.
