In this paper I present an interface between art and management using the surrealist movement as point of intersection between the two areas. Considering the dynamics of the organization studies field in Brazil and its theoretical dependence in relation to the Anglo-Saxon world, the subversive and freedom thought underlying to the surrealist art can be explored as tool of rupture of the symbolic gratings that imprison our creativity in the iron cage of the organization studies. In this way, the objective of this paper is analyzing the current context from three scenes: an unstable one that portray the rupture on years 1920 with the proposal of autonomy of the surrealist movement; a stable one with the setting of the organization phenomenon in paradigms and its hidden evolution express for the domesticated movement of Critical Management Studies (CMS); and analyzing the possibilities of rupture from a new scene where stability and instability are part of the same reality and transfer the center of the debates for our own context in order to reach the necessary autonomy for the Brazilian organization theorization with the same boldness and creativity of the surrealist adventure precursors.
