Not many people are aware that one of the world's most renowned Surrealist collectives still exists in our city. The founders, married couple Franklin and Penelope Rosemont, met at Roosevelt and hung out in the cafés of Paris with André Breton and company. Their newest anthology, "Surrealist Subversions," edited by Ron Sakolsky, contains rants, critiques, games and artwork from the U.S. movement. Franklin Rosemont, Don La Coss, David Roediger, Jen Besemer and Gale Ahrens, artists and activists still living their philosophy, will be at the Quimby's signing.

The Chicago Surrealists celebrate "Surrealist Subversions" on June 28 at 8pm at Quimby's, 1854 West North, (773)342-0910.
