As the Dali Museum’s Curator of Education, Peter Tush is the person who decides how the works of the Surrealist master, and of the other artists on exhibition alongside Dali, should be “interpreted” for the public. He trains the museum’s docents, writes the audio tours and the gallery labels, arranges school programming and gives talks – lots of talks – about each exhibit as it debuts. Tush works closely with the exhibit curators as every new show is in development.
In this Arts Alive! podcast interview, the question is put to him: How does one “explain” Surrealism, which by its very natures defies simple interpretation?
