USA – NEW YORK – ‘At the beginning of the Surrealist Revolution, it was declared: “We live in the era of wireless telegraphy; we announce also the era of wireless imagination.” But it is not wires that confine us now — it is chains of oppression that we must break! In confirmation of the above, we announce these truths: that all men are equal in their madness, and that madness (visceral cosmos of the subconscious) constitutes the common base of the human spirit.”
– Salvador Dali, World’s Fair 1939
When not playing video games with the bots, visitors to the 1939 World’s Fair in New York City could admire the nudes at
Nils T. Granlund’s Colony Of Naked Sun Worshippers and at Salvador Dali’s Dream of Venus Pavilion. The tribute to Venus, the goddess of love, sex, beauty and fertility, was signposted by the main door, which was flanked by pillars representing female legs wearing stockings and high-heels.
