Conversation: Remedios Varo-Science Fictions

Exhibition co-curators Caitlin Haskell and Tere Arcq discuss the making of Remedios Varo: Science Fictions, the first US museum exhibition in over 20 years dedicated to the Spanish-born, Mexico-based Surrealist.
Bringing together more than 60 of Varo’s paintings, drawings, and sketchbooks from 1955 until her death in 1963, this show considers the artist’s practice of combining science, alchemy, magic, and mysticism with Surrealist automatic techniques.
