Exquisite Corpse @ Galerie Vallois – Paris

22/03/2013 @ 5:00 pm - 11/05/2013 @ 5:00 pm

free

Conceived as a follow-up to the 2003 « Cadavre Exquis » (exquisite corpse) expo @ galerie Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois « Exquisite Corpse » proposes a corpus of works inspired by the well-known Parisian game which appeared in the early 20s in a house situated at the central rue du Château where people like Marcel Duhamel, Jacques Prévert or Yves Tanguy used to meet.

And inspired by those playful and surrealist meetings “Exquisite Corpse” presents a new selection of contemporary artists who try to incarnate that transgressive and free will spirit. Each of the works shown at the expo plays unexpected juxtapositions and unbridled narratives.

Some of those names are very familiar to us, like like DB 2012 photography award winner John Stezaker or Brit artist Keith Tyson whose “Deep Impact” truly caught our eye a couple of years ago @ London’s Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition.

And many others do not need any introductions at all. A must-see expo @ Galerie Valois which opens next Friday and will run until May 11th. More info this way.
