SUMMARY:Surreal Salon 18\, SWOON Artist Lecture
DESCRIPTION:LSU Digital Media Center\n888 S. Stadium Dr. Baton Rouge\, La 70808 \nBaton Rouge Gallery is honored to have\, thanks to a partnership with the LSU School of Art\, internationally acclaimed mixed-media artist\, SWOON\, serving as Surreal Salon’s Special Guest Juror in 2026. SWOON (Caledonia Curry) will speak at LSU on Monday\, January 26\, 2026. \nThe talk will be free and open to all\, touching on her career\, her work\, and her experience selecting the works that would be included in this exhibition. Stay tuned for more details on this special opportunity to hear from someone BOMB Magazine once said\, “has the antennae of an artist\, but also the enthusiasms of an anarchist\, a healer\, a utopian dreamer.” \nCaledonia Curry\, aka Swoon\, is a Brooklyn-based street artist. Drawing on both realistic and fantastical elements\, she has been transforming the world with her immersive installations\, wheat paste portraits\, and community-based social justice projects for the last two decades. While Curry’s work has adorned the walls of more classical institutions – including New York’s Museum of Modern Art\, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston\, and the Tate Modern – her overarching aim is to create accessible art that transports audiences while simultaneously shedding light on pressing social and environmental issues.
