The coolest event I’ve heard about to kick off summer is this Friday’s Surrealist Ball at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. Thrown in conjunction with their current Surreal Things exhibition, the evening promises a levitation, inverted psychoanalytical procedures, a macabre booth, an underwater-style shrimp dance and 20’s music played on a windup gramophone. And it’s free!
Put a little surreal in your life with this Wolfhound Paw Print Rug, a replica of the original commissioned by Edward James, a passionate supporter of the Surrealist movement, and featured in the exhibition. Available at the V&A Gift Shop.
