Exquisite Corpse is a game-registered in the Library of Congress for almost 100 years. Throughout the years it has been played by many, never like this version before.
Every year is an entirely new game, even when some of the participants have played before. We are all in constant change. Each year every piece created is a unique work of art that is part of the energetic flow. It is a unique blind collaboration and a very individualized experience, all at once.
The game starts with the selection of the artists. Once the artist has accepted to play, they become part of a three-person (head, torso, legs) team and sworn to secrecy. One of the games main objectives is to bring the artists out of their comfort zone. Have them be inspired to create a work of “Thought Provoking Art “JUST FOR FUN. They become 1/3 of a work of art.
A select group of highly experienced professionals within the arts is chosen as “The seekers”. Their job is to assist with the selection of the talent. All artist invited are VERY talented. That is what makes it so fun. They are all on the same frequency. The artist is given very little clues. They know what part of the corpse they are going to create, the medium they are creating in and that every artist invited is very talented. The artist role is to be inspired & motivated by the other incredible talent. Play the game and be as creative & inspired as possible. That is where Phase 2 starts.
Each artist has 17 days to complete their work of art. The gamekeeper is the only person that knows who is paired with who. The pairing is done before the game is launched in a unique serendipity way. Once paired changes cannot be made. The pieces won’t fit otherwise. Maintaining Secrecy is the KEY!
