Exquisite Corpse Cannibals

Gallery 110, Seattle, WA - May 3-31

by Matthew Kangas

The 10-member Seattle group is the latest incarnation of the original 1925 Surrealist game le cadavre exquis: each artist adds something to the artwork without knowledge of prior additions or subtractions by other artists. Curator David Sokal invited the mix of professionals and amateurs whose art grew out of a discussion group headed by Robin Walker over a two-year period. Twenty collaborations are on view, including sculptures, paintings and collages, along with a fake wood-burning stove for video-viewing.
