Hopefully, things will get back to normal and resume over at HAMMOND, I am not sure if the site will definitely come back, (there are technical issues with Hammond's hosting service) but in the meantime, I decided to give it a go and purchase my own website, SURREALISMNOW.COM, where I am sole OWNER, WEBMASTER, ADMINISTRATOR and GALLERY MANAGER all in one. This new website will STAY ONLINE while I am in charge of all operations at SURREALISMNOW. There will be no offline dropouts of the site, I personally saw to that while I was setting everything up.

Keith Wigdor presents

[Announcement - Keith Wigdor - 4Ko - 2006]


This is Keith Wigdor, Surrealist. I am now the Gallery Manager of THE HAMMOND GALLERY, http://www.hammondgallery.co.uk  the official gallery of Contemporary Surrealism and the International Surrealist Movement in the 21st Century. The website showcases Surrealism and its affinities: Fantastic Realism, Visionary Art, Mystic Art, Psychedelic Art, Macabre and Horror, Dark Surreal, Outsider and Anarchist Art and other genres affiliated with Surrealism. Also, the website has an extensive exhibit of Classical and Contemporary Surrealist Art from artists past and present. I would like to announce the following invitation to ALL Surrealists and Artists who are interested in exhibiting on Hammond.

THE HAMMOND GALLERY, http://www.hammondgallery.co.uk is an online art gallery for surrealists and artists currently involved in Contemporary Surrealism and the Surrealist Movement, Fantastic Realism, Visionary Art, Mystic Art, Creative Art and any other genres (Dark Surreal, Macabre and Horror, Psychedelic, Outsider Art, etc.) that share an affinity with the above. If you are an artist who wants to exhibit their art on The Hammond Gallery, (its free to join) follow these easy instructions:

All you have to do is go to the site, http://www.hammondgallery.co.uk go to the top right corner to click on JOIN US and follow the instructions for creating your online gallery. After you join, then you will need to go back to the home page at http://www.hammondgallery.co.uk and go to the top right corner and then click on LOG IN. Type in your username and password. You will be then taken to your ARTIST ADMINISTRATOR’s PAGE where you will see options for, “UPLOAD IMAGES”, “EDIT BIO” “VIEW/EDIT IMAGES”, etc.etc. You will be able to follow all the instructions from there once you access your Artist Administration Area page, its real easy and self-explanatory. There is a site uploader program that automatically creates your gallery and you have to upload your art images (around six to twenty images) at 60K jpg FILE SIZE (most artists mistake this for IMAGE SIZE in Adobe Photoshop, 60K is the FILE SIZE, not the IMAGE SIZE) size in order for it to work. After you upload your art image, click on the Thumbnail to make sure it opens to Full-File Size, so you can see it. You will see the Thumbnail but you need see the image.
Also, make sure that you add the DESCRIPTION information under each artwork that you are uploading, for example, “Oil on Canvas”, “Acrylic” “Watercolor” etc. Also, in the DESCRIPTION Area, you can add your website URL link and any Sales information that you think the viewer might want to know. If you are an artist who sells Original Works, Prints, or Posters of your art, you can let the public know that by adding the information in the Description Area which will appear under each art image of yours. ITs real easy and once I see that you joined, I will approve your entire gallery! I hope that you consider exhibiting on THE HAMMOND GALLERY, its a great art website and one of the best!

Thank you, Keith Wigdor, kwigdor@si.rr.com

NEW WEBSITE for KEITH WIGDOR SURREALISM http://www.keithwigdor.surrealism.info

[Announcement - Keith Wigdor - 1Ko - 2005]


The portfolio of the surrealist Keith Wigdor: Current Surrealism and Surrealist Exploration in the 21st Century Surrealist Movement.

The proper category for the surrealist Keith Wigdor will be under Current Surrealism in 2005. The Surrealist Movement today is an open art movement composed of many surrealist and surreal artists(and poets and writers), along with many fantastic and visionary artists as well. Since the death of Andre Breton in 1966 and his group disbanding in 1969, Surrealism went through a retrospective phase that was mainly controlled by art historians and scholars up to the present age.

Though there have been a very small number of self-identified surrealist groups and self-identified surrealists struggling to keep their version of the movement alive according to its original principles set forth by Breton, they have failed to remain organized (producing limited and controlled results) and true to the real goals of surrealism, its main aim, the complete destruction of closed rationalism.

Since 2001, a new wave of thought and expression, (and revolt), has turned up in the arts, especially on the Internet, which facilitates an enormous potential to address new audiences with new challenges. The Fantastic Realism and Visionary Art Movement, though not in accord with the thought proposed by Breton, has provided some fascinating results in their visual and pictorial artworks and creations which I claim to be worthy of the surrealist label. I applaud most of all, Terrance Lindall, and his Brave Destiny Surrealism shows at the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York from 2003. Terrance Lindall is the author of The New International Surrealist Manifesto and it is a refreshing doorway to the marvelous. I do recognize some differences in the approach to how the imagination can address the challenges presented by the Hegelian Dialectic in his manifesto and the Brave Destiny artists, but what is most important is the DESIRE, that Mr.Lindall and the 500 exhibiting artists in Brave Destiny possess! Nobody shares the same politics, that is inevitable. The motives will be different as well as the incentives. Many realize the enormous difficulty and challenges to go beyond the parameters set forth by Breton, but like the Hegelian Dialectic itself, there will always be constant movement! This is why I support the cause of Lindall's manifesto and Brave Destiny, most of all, in its DESIRE to explore the imagination which contains so many new mysteries to be examined by all. I look to everyone in The Society for the Art of the Imagination, Brave Destiny, The Fantastic and Visionary Art Movements as Fellow Travellers and Comrades in Surrealism most of all! I also applaud the continuing efforts of the online internet art gallery, THE HAMMOND GALLERY, for continuing to exhibit many new surrealist and surreal artists, along with Fantastic and Visionary Artists as well. I also applaud all those in the underground art movements as well. Their creations provide the revolutionary fuel for social action and revolt that is needed in this day and age, most of all. Surrealism recognizes an affinity with these comrades as well.

Current Surrealism is now being exhibited in surrealist art exhibits online and in art galleries. Many new artists are exploring their desires to embrace the unknown sublayers of the subconscious, the fantastic, and the mysterious. I welcome ALL of these artists as Surrealists and Technicians of the Mind! This is the only way that true revolution can take place in this world dominated by forces that are in conflict with our humanity. Again, I would like to stress that many do not necessarily share the same politics, or incentives, it is their results that is most important!

I understand the strict and rigid categorizations of the subsets of art and expression, but there must also be the need to address affinities that do exist, which surrealism has recognized  from the past up to the present. When you are presented with any objections and invalid arguments that current surrealism does not stay true to the aims and principles set forth by Andre Breton which are supposed to be, "beyond argument", then ask yourself the following, "where can I find their results and how much do they charge"?

Keith Wigdor, Surrealist
