I wish someone in this newsgroup would say something about the actual
surrealist movement.

this is far too broad to provoke any meaningful responses.

what is it you are hoping to discuss (or find)?

are you aware of the surrealist movement as it exists today, or looking for
it?

Your request is ambiguous: do you mean the orginal surrealist group
(Breton. Peret, Eluard, etc.), or do you mean the viable and contemporary

world-wide surrealist activity?

If the first, plenty has been said here and there about them, but such

"archiving" isn't the main thrust of anyone truly interested in
surrealism
as a movement-with-movement rather than as a historical display in a
"cabinet of marvels" or a museum "specialty."

If the second, I can only say you must not be reading quite closely
enough. Amid all the mystical hoohad of the New Age Crystal methodists,
and the bitchy in-your-faceness of the faceless neu- and pop- surrealists

much is being said on a daily basis about that. Better it is being acted
out (thus the word "movement") in play and serious discussion of
contemporary events. This is what surrealism is about.

There are others here who have more resource information on living
movements world-wide. Clarify your question and then we can begin
to answer it in more depth.

you can start with a visit to the links offered by the Surrealist Group of
Wisconsin:

http://www.execpc.com/~bogartte/links2.html

which lives up to its billing as "the most comprehensive list of surrealist
links on the internet".

[the column on the left lists currently active groups (i gather you're in
Sweden, so note that this list includes the group in Stockholm) while the
column on the right is informational or individuals. of course there is
overlap.]

all of these will have e-mail addresses for you to request further
information.

hope this helps.

Once when I moved into an apartment I found a two-gallon jar full
of human teeth.
