  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 เม.ย. 2014
  • Need some help getting to grips with Surrealism? The Doctor will see you now.
    Peter Capaldi, a former art student, and the latest actor to play Doctor Who, settles down on Freud's couch to deliver his wry take on the Surrealist movement.
    'Unlock Art' is Tate's new short film series, offering a witty inside track on the world of art.
    Doctor Who actor Peter Capaldi joins forces with rock duo The Kills, comedian Frank Skinner, Girls star Jemima Kirke and other celebrity art fans to introduce some of the big ideas that have shaped art history. A new film is released each month, with topics ranging from the history of the nude and the nature of the art market, to Pop art.
    Unlock Art is a collaboration between Tate and Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts.
    Le Méridien Unlock Artmicrosite: www.lemeridien.com/filmseries
    As an ongoing supporter of Tate's work, Le Méridien also sponsors the Outset/Frieze Art Fair Fund to benefit the Tate collection, which enables Tate to buy work by emerging artists at Frieze London.

    Life nowadays is much more surreal than surrealism ever was, which dilutes it's effect. It's hard to imagine the impact it had in the 30's.

    • @DarkAngelEU
      @DarkAngelEU 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Which is why it isn't relevant anymore. People who think prancing around like Ziggy Stardust is still breaking boundaries need to be sent back to the sixties. Freedom has changed, it's way more real now.

    • @gm7173
      @gm7173 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Then surrealism becomes 'surrealer', there is always something that will seem surreal no matter what time period. Of course something surreal in the the 30s may very well be real now, and, like you said, negates it's effect. But still there's always something surreal, whatever the time may be.

    • @BG_NC
      @BG_NC 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Google made me do it I think it's less that it's irrelevant, more that art forms as a whole have embraced surrealism to the point where it has become synonymous with the term "artsy." Arguably that means it has more of a social impact now than before, since it is so widespread, but leaves less of an individual impact since we are so used to it.

    Was Freud right? should art have taken this route? By talking about deconstructing the subconscious, Freud accidentally got people to merely illustrate and celebrate it. 'Oh well, nobody's perfect' as Marcel Duchamp would say.
    I can listen to Peter Capaldi all day, he has those eyes that say, 'Pay attention, or you will stand for the remainder of the lesson.'

      lol I was pretty prophetic a bit eh? However I wasn't that impressed with "listen"..if you notice when in Rupert's bedroom the blanket pulls off, there is something there that doesn't look human.(pefully more development on that later in seaon).plus how did the doctor's "wards" not know the tardis was in the barn, nor did The High Council notice a incursion stamp the way they noticed he appeared in the Day of the Doctor"...Or not remembering Clara's talk to him at bedside?? or the toy solder??? .I know I'm reading to much into it hehe..but I love the show and want the writing to be as tight as possible.. I have a bad feeling this season will go down in flames if they don't start showing some serious Doctor development..so far it's been chaotic at best..and the episodes are not that great either.. But I say this as loudly as I can, it is not Peter Capaldi's fault, the fault lies with the writing/scripts given. I hope by midseason it gts turned around. I really do.(let's hope this prophecy bears true as well hehe}

    Art is birthed in the unconscious body and heart. That is the home of our innermost treasures of psychological exploration and discovery; the phantasmagorical journey to the quintessential amorous fragility of life. All else is cerebral, linear and logical; the critical mind wants to define and categorize and sequester us from unity into one conscious field. One day we will become whole, and if that terrifies or unnerves you--perhaps you are more alike than apart--just atoms 'n' stuff of the void coming to its own head. Judgement represses character development, does nothing in the long-haul to keep us separate, so free the mind and realize there is no such thing as 'assets / ownership' or control'--it just is.
