In this episode of Giving Back Is Dead, recorded at OFFSCREEN in Paris during our third year at the fair, we sit down with Dr. Brigitte Nicole Grice, president and co-founder of Chez Max et Dorothea, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving and expanding the legacy of Surrealism.But Surrealism is more than just an artistic style—it’s a way of seeing, questioning, and reimagining the world. Chez Max et Dorothea is not just a residency or exhibition space; it’s a living environment where artists, scholars, curators, and poets can explore the radical, boundary-pushing ideas that have shaped contemporary art. With an 8,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Los Angeles and a mission to acquire Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning’s final home in Seillans, France, the organization is creating a bridge between historical Surrealism and its influence on today's cultural landscape.Brigitte shares her journey from academia to nonprofit leadership, the significance of Los Angeles in the Surrealist movement, and why preserving artistic legacies is essential for fostering new creative futures. Tune in for a conversation on how giving back to the arts isn’t just about preservation—it’s about keeping the spirit of innovation and imagination alive.Watch now and learn how you can be part of this extraordinary project.
