The Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation has revived one of Salvador Dalí’s most visionary initiatives with the launch of Dalí News, an annual international magazine that combines rigorous intellectual inquiry with the artist’s enduring spirit of imagination. The publication brings together twelve internationally renowned contributors, from artists and writers to scientists and philosophers, who explore contemporary thought through the lens of Dalí’s predictions, ideas, and surrealist methodology.

Inspired by Dalí’s original self-published Dalí News of the 1940s, which the artist used to express his critical, unfiltered reflections in a post-war world, the modern magazine reimagines this platform for the 21st century. Each issue takes as its conceptual anchor one of Dalí’s so-called “predictions” published in the 1950s, revisiting them to examine their relevance today.

The inaugural issue, titled “The Dreaming Machine,” examines Dalí’s foresight into technology’s potential to access and stimulate the realm of dreams, setting the stage for a dialogue across disciplines including neuroscience, literature, psychology, architecture, and contemporary art.

Contributors to the first issue range from eminent scholars such as Astrid Ruffa, Emmanuel Guigon, and Victoria Cirlot, who analyze the intersection of dreams, Surrealism, and knowledge, to writers like Mircea Cărtărescu and María Gainza, whose literary reflections resonate with Dalí’s oneiric imagery.

Contemporary artists Glenn Brown, Joan Fontcuberta, Mayte Gómez Molina, and Shana Lutker engage directly with Dalí’s work, particularly The Dream (circa 1937), examining the transformation of visual reality, memory, and narrative across mediums.

Neuroscientific and psychotherapeutic perspectives on dreaming are provided by Sidarta Ribeiro and Melinda Powell, while architect Juan Herreros considers how modern museum spaces shape cultural and social experience.

The issue concludes with a historic nod to Dalí himself, featuring a dream written by the artist and a tribute to photographer Philippe Halsman, whose iconic collaborations with Dalí include Dalí Atomicus and Still Life with Dalí’s Head (1941).

Edited under the guidance of Montse Aguer, with design by Alex Gifreu and coordination by Claudia Galli, the magazine maintains the intellectual rigour and interdisciplinary spirit that defined Dalí’s original vision. Published annually in Catalan, Spanish, and English, and available digitally from January 22, 2026, Dalí News reaffirms the Foundation’s commitment to fostering reflection and this time in print!

With this launch, Dalí’s visionary curiosity is not only preserved but reactivated as a tool for contemporary understanding, bridging art, science, literature, and philosophy in the way only Dalí could inspire.
