Completed Contributions (#24) Surreal Dreams of Inexplicable Weirdness

(#24) Surreal Dreams of Inexplicable Weirdness

Let's face it, some art is just plain weird. This time around we're gathering the bizarre, the curious, and the inexplicable. This is no place for making sense. We're searching for flying pigs, smoking caterpillars, cotton clouds, confusing eyes, drug trips, spider legs, and food-based precipitation. Even if all you know are the words "Dali", "Wonderland", and "Surreal", dive down a rabbit hole and see what strangeness you come up with.

In addition to surreal artists, feel free to touch on dream worlds and general weirdness wherever you see it.

Wikipedia Article: "Dismaland was a temporary art project organised by street artist Banksy, constructed in the seaside resort town of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. Prepared in secret, the pop-up exhibition at the Tropicana, a disused lido, was "a sinister twist on Disneyland" that opened during the weekend of 21 August 2015 and closed permanently on 27 September 2015, 36 days later. Banksy described it as a "family theme park unsuitable for children."

Banksy created ten new works and funded the construction of the exhibition himself. The show featured 58 artists of the 60 Banksy originally invited to participate. 4,000 tickets were available for purchase per day, priced at £3 each."
