EXQUISITE CORPSE

EXQUISITE CORPSE is a game in which each participant takes turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal his or her contribution, and then passing it to the next player for a further contribution. The game gained popularity in artistic circles during the 1920s when it was adopted as a technique by the Surrealists.

If you wish to take part then please take one of the pieces of paper from the box in the long Gallery – and draw or collage either a ‘head’, ‘torso’ or ‘legs’.  Please keep within the blue lines indicated so that the different sections will eventually join up accurately and create the illusion of a whole creature. You can contribute as many variations as you wish.  Please place them the box when complete.

Once we have enough works we assemble them into an exhibition in the Long Gallery and possibly put them together as a publication.
