DARYL HOUGHTON FOR ARTS INTERACTIVE



Arts Interactive is an interactive group/gathering of those interested in the betterment of the Visual Arts. They hold regular monthly meetings and the October event will feature photographer Daryl Houghton who has recently returned from Spain and will give an illustrated presentation entitled An Exploration Of The Surreal World Of Salvador Dali As Manifested In The Dalinian Triangle Of Catalonia.

“Our journey will take us firstly to Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dali, where we will visit the Dali Theatre-Museum with is bizarre mixture of kitsch and major masterpieces,” explains Houghton. “We then continue on to the remote fishing village of Port Lligat where we visit the house that was Dali's primary residence for over 50 years, and which became a living expression of his surreal genius. We complete our exploration of the Dalinian triangle at the third point with a visit to the austere castle at Pubol, which Dali created as a retreat for his wife, Gala.”

Arts Interactive takes place on October 14 at 18h00 for 18h30 at Khaya Lembali, 15 Lumsden Crescent, off Peter Mokhaba Road ( North Ridge Road). Parking is at the Girl Guide headquarters diagonally opposite.

Entry R120/head (dinner included). Please note that each Arts Interactive is specifically catered and pre-ordered – so when you cancel just before Arts Interactive or do not arrive, we are liable to pay for your food. (Drinks can be purchased)
