From the Print Room:

"The Cleveland Print Room is pleased to present Exquisite Corpse, a silent auction fundraiser featuring works created by nationally recognized artists from Cleveland and beyond in collaboration to create exquisite corpses + live drawing event in the spirit of the Surrealist game of the same name.

"Exquisite Corpse was originally enjoyed as a parlor game invented by the Surrealists for which artists collaborated on drawings without seeing each others’ contributions, celebrating the unexpected. For the Surrealists, this tapped into their interest in a collective unconscious. Bidding on the Exquisite Corpse works will begin at the event on Saturday, July 18th at 6pm with larger murals on the gallery walls starting at $100. Smaller unique and unpredictable collaborative creations will be added to the wall as they are drawn and then sold at the event for $75. Funds raised through the event will support the future growth and programming of the Print Room as it continues to provide a dedicated space for photographers to exhibit in Cleveland

"Surrealist artists played a collaborative, chance-based parlor game, typically involving four players, called Cadavre Exquis (Exquisite Corpse). Each participant would draw an image (or, on some occasions, paste an image down) on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to conceal their contribution, and pass it on to the next player for his contribution.

"Taking turns adding onto each other’s drawings and collages resulted in fantastic composite figures, by a group of artists including Yves Tanguy, Joan Miró, Max Morise, and Man Ray. For the surrealists, Exquisite Corpse was a perfect parlor game, involving elements of unpredictability, chance, unseen elements, and group collaboration— all in service of disrupting the waking mind’s penchant for order."
