1st August 2006

During August- January, The Surrealists as they were once known are no more:

We regret the breakdown in tea and scone services throughout Malton's museums, but The Surrealists will return in one shape or another in months to come.

An extremist Surrealist has splintered from the main group, and is considered armed and dangerous. We advise caution when liable to damage artwork- there is no longer any moderate influence preventing more extreme methods of protecting artwork.

The other members either find themselves in a state of undeath, or willing to take a break for a while.

Introduction

The Surrealists, a.k.a. Malton Art Force, are a fairly chaotic group only recently come into being, and currently consist of rather ostentatiously dressed members. All those of a slightly odd disposition are welcome (no potatoes).

27th July 2006

The Surrealists put up a valiant fight at a Mall, but nearly every last member was battered and broken by the zombie storm. This has been a serious setback for the group, not least because infected Surrealists are showing little appreciation for art. Our zombiefied brothers are currently being secured, largely through abusing their ravenous appetites for tea and biscuits (it appears some aspects remain unchanged, even in undeath) with some success: however, several members are proving exceedingly powerful post-life, and one cannot help but wonder if they have been dead previously.

21st July 2006

In a largely spontaneous decision, The Surrealists have joined glorious battle alongside the New Malton Colossus! Fine Art of Malton is still the groups´ main priority however, alongside a good spot of brunch.

19th July 2006

After a fairly long tea break, recruitment has stepped up, with the clearing and barricading of several buildings. All members are asked to stock up on biscuits from the local mall.

6th July 2006

During our travels, museums around Buenos Aires in Argentina have been protected from zombies. An utter success, with not one zombie reported to have broken in.

June

June proved a good month for The Surrealists, largely because it was their first. It wasn`t until halfway through that anyone actually remembered the original meeting, but from then on things started looking up. Triangular teabags were used, the World Cup was watched and many an art installation was considered over a lovely scone.

The Archive

For full details of each month, see the archives.

History

The Surrealists were founded in the midst of apocalyptic chaos in an Irish Bar in Malton, shortly before the whole zombie outbreak thing, in answer to the increasing abandonment of Maltons´ rich cultural artwork.

Objectives

The Surrealists remain an incoherent whole, and as such aims and objectives are somewhat difficult to pin down. General strategy has been observed however:

The Surrealists aim to secure and protect artworks. They appear to have been working at random however, selecting few of Malton´s most valuable or even culturally respected installations.

A secondary aim of raising awareness of Malton´s cultural plight appears to have been put into action, with severly limited success. It does appear that a spraycan in the hands of a Surrealist produces little by way of legible value.

Difficulties

There are many obstacles in the way of surrealist success. The largest of which being noone actually has any real clue what that entails.

The plan to protect Malton´s artwork is proving especially difficult however- they are constantly under threat from looters, gun wielding philistines, graffiti and the living dead. The Surrealists believe they will prevail however, as many of Malton´s citizens appear to disregard the major installations altogether.

Missions

Operation: Fine Art of Malton

1. Log the location and contents of every museum.

2. Protect said museums

3. Open lucrative coffee shops throughout Maltons´ reestablished museums. Scone?

Operation: Homecoming

1. Choose a district to focus on. A quiet neighbourhood with regular bus access would be nice.

2. Record the whereabouts of major art installations within the neighbourhood.

3. Discuss the relative importance of said installations.

4. Break for tea and biscuits. This has now happened on several occasions.

5. Acquire a generator and fuel.

6. Using the decisions of the meeting, secure the more important artworks and set up permanent powered base in the most vital building.

Operation: Chaos

Highly uber-secret.

Long-Term Aims

1. Raise awareness of Malton´s cultural plight.

2. Produce artwork worthy of adding to the city.

3. Locate the fabled "Cubist Installation", rumoured to contain many squares, rectangles and many rare cuboids. Karloth vois 01:20, 26 June 2006 (BST)

4. Record the locations of Malton´s most precious artworks. Karloth vois 01:20, 26 June 2006 (BST)

5. Find a nice recipe for fried zombie lungs (non-smokers only).

6. Write a "Z" across the entire city, using only public transport.

7. Engage in some "Counter-Tourism", a là "Experimental Travel".

Uniform

The Surrealists, being less than organised by nature, wear little in the way of a coherent uniform. Top Hats and pocket watches, though not compulsory, are expected however.
