Exquisite Corpse Night
"The greatest pursuit of an artist is collaboration. Especially drunken collaboration with friends."
– Eleanor Roosevelt
In the game known as exquisite corpse, there is one rule: the participants shun conscious intentions while creating collaborative artwork. Artists share a canvas, taking turns developing the piece, blind to the others' work, leaving images or words to harmonize into a composite whole by sheer serendipity. Originally a verbal parlor game and later co-opted by the Surrealists, exquisite corpse celebrated the mystery of the accident and the "unconscious reality in the personality of the group," as Nicolas Calas described.
But you already knew all that, smartypants. So grab some brews and hop on over!
Ain't no party like a FORUM party, cuz a FORUM party is a perfect marriage of high and low brow exuberance.
It's Coming: Friday, April 25th, 2014 from 7-10 pm
