a collaborative project

Exquisite Corpse: Joie de Vivre is an installation curated by M Susan Broussard. This collective assemblage of works on paper was created by artists from Canada to México. Borrowing from exquisite corpse, a method invented by French surrealists in the early 1900s. Collaborators add to compositions in sequence: a head, torso, leg, etc. Artists are only allowed to see a tiny sliver (the end) of what the previous artist contributed. Some artists followed the exquisite corpse tradition of drawing their portion on a shared sheet of paper, while others worked remotely and mailed-in their section of the drawing.
