Len Lye, Animation and Surrealism

Te Huinga Centre, Level 3, Te Papa 55 Cable Street, Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand

Join Victoria University Art Historian Raymond Spiteri as he discusses the development of the film practice of Len Lye, and its proximity to surrealism. While surrealism does provide one reference point for the development of his practice, Lye did not identify closely with the movement. Instead, he drew on broader currents of modernist primitivism, the interest in Freud’s writings, and the effects of mechanization in his practice, to produce an amalgam that echoed surrealist practice while maintaining a modicum of distance.
