"Exquisite corpse: a method by which a collection of words or images
is
collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in
sequence,
either by following a rule or by being allowed to see the end of what
the
previous person contributed."

The original Exquisite Corpse game began with a handful of poets in early
20th century France. In Columbus this summer, 50+ artists are uniting to
carry on that same spirit of collaboration, and raise some money in the
process. Organized by local arts advocacy groups ARTillery and the Columbus
Artmobile, the idea is simple. Gather artists from different backgrounds to
collaborate on a variety of pieces, then host a silent auction of the
finished work. Proceeds from the auction will go towards the purchase a vehicle for the Columbus Artmobile, which is in need of a van or bus large
enough to transport volunteers and supplies to local schools. Known as a
“classroom on wheels”, the Artmobile seeks to offer low or no costs arts
classes to local elementary and middle school children currently without art
as part of their curriculum.

ARTillery member and Artmobile founder Heather Wirth says “We started in
April with about 6 artists. Currently we are up to nearly 60 artists and
counting, and have over 30 pieces of art in circulation. Mediums include
paintings, ink drawings, mixed media, jewelry, book arts, clay and pottery, textiles, collage and photography. There are no rules, no restrictions, each artist is free to create whatever he/she desires.”

The project culminates with a gallery show and silent auction at the ARTillery Gallery in late September. Booklets that feature photographs of the the work at each stage, as well as bios of each contributing artists, will accompany each of the finished works.

Artists interested in contributing to a piece are asked to email Heather at
