The Cadavre Exquis (Exquisite Corpse) was a favorite surrealist game from the 1920s onwards. The game involves multiple participants contributing to a single drawing. Traditionally, the participants create their section of the drawing and then cover it so the next person is drawing blind. Only after all participants have finished is the drawing unfolded and revealed.

The Paul Robeson Galleries has played the Exquisite Corpse game with 92 artists of the region to produce 30 drawings to mark our 30th Anniversary.This exhibition will literally manifest Paul Robeson Galleries mission
of inclusivity, participation, and community outreach.

This exhibition is on display at from November 19, 2009 – April 8, 2010
