About the Project:
“In the early 1900s, a few surrealists in France gathered at an old house in Montparnasse, 54
Rue Du Chateau. There, they created and played a parlor game they called “exquisite corpse”. The rules are simple, one artist starts one section of a drawing and passes it to the next artist, who, while only being able to view a small part of the previous section adds to the drawing. This fun method inspires new and exciting compositions.
Long time art collector Guadalupe Villanueva is acting curator, inviting some of the best working artists today in groups of 3 to keep this tradition alive in the current digital age, all while producing high-end black and white limited edition archival screen-prints for discerning collectors. Pre-sale purchasers are given a chance to vote on the print title to potentially inspire the art, however artists have complete artistic freedom.

This highly collaborative process will take time to produce. Each artist gets about 2 weeks time to fully complete their section before we go to print, emboss, and number. Expect 3 or more months from the presale to when we begin shipping. Print one in the series is now complete but there are still spaces for the next print by EMEK, MUNK ONE AND LUKE MARTIN!!
