Dalí's Dream of Venus Wednesday, February 23 @ 5pm 17 Logan Hall, 249 South 36th Street Created for the 1939 World's Fair, Dalí's bizarre pavilion, "Dream of Venus", was for most visitors or "victims of reality," a first introduction to the Surrealist Movement. Revisit this singular carnival funhouse with Ingrid Schaffner, ICA's senior curator, noted Dalí expert and coauthor with Eric Schaal of Salvador Dalí's Dream of Venus, based on Schaal's photographs of the construction of the funhouse by Dalí himself.
