Special Screening: Europe after the Rain
Europe after the Rain (1978)
Directed by Mick Gold
Duration: 1h 28mins
In celebration of the exhibition ‘The Sylvio Perlstein Collection. A Luta Continua,’ from June to July, Hauser & Wirth presents a series of film screenings, introducing the significant artists in the collection and in art history.
‘Europe after the Rain’ (from the painting by the same name, Max Ernst [1941]) is a documentary by journalist-filmmaker Mick Gold that examines Dada and Surrealism not simply as modern movements in the arts, but also as a history of ideas – emphasising the desire to unify political and psychological values with artistic creativity. ‘Dada thrives on contradictions. It is creative and destructive. Dada denounces the world and wishes to save it’.
