Local poets influenced by Surrealism present short readings and performances in the galleries of Marvelous Objects: Surrealist Sculpture from Paris to New York. Bewilder Sensation takes its title from a 1935 lecture by founding Surrealist André Breton titled “Surrealist Situation of the Object: Situation of the Surrealist Object.”
