Exquisite Corpses . . . A Workshop

Da Vinci Art Alliance

Exquisite Corpse will unfold as a collaborative drawing process and workshop

A game popularized by surrealists in the 1920s, Exquisite Corpse unfolds as a collaborative drawing process in which each participant draws on one section of a folded piece of paper and passes it on to the next participant to fill in another section, and so on and so forth.In a parallel structure to “. . .” we have set up three-part corpses. Each section of a corpse can be completed one after the other (revealing the corpse to all three participants once it’s been completed), or anyone can choose to fill in one section of a corpse, and leave it for others to fill in during a later time in the workshop.We have no boundaries on what methods of creation can be applied to this activity. Participants can draw, write, paint, cut up, collage, etc. DVAA uses art to connect people and build collective resilience in spaces across Greater Philadelphia. Please consider a donation of $10 to support this event and more like it! About the Exhibition:You see an … (An ellipsis, that is.) Is it a pause? A trailing thought? A suggestion of something unsaid? In a lingual system made up of definitions, the ellipsis defies defining—so what are we to make of these three dots? In “. . .”, an exhibition proudly presented by Da Vinci Art Alliance, artists Daisy Diamond and Olivia Guarnieri explore this symbol of ambiguity, and the myriad meanings it can contain.While Diamond and Guarnieri have long used sculpture and painting to interrogate materiality, this will be the first instance in which their works have the opportunity to be in conversation with one another; conversations that “consist fully of questions,” says Guarnieri. “I am very glad to present this exhibition that only asks, rather than knows what it is.” Much like “...” fills the space between clauses with meaning, so too do the pieces on view alchemize the space between them—and between the artists themselves.

We are not yet wheelchair accessible; Da Vinci is a three floor gallery with narrow staircases. (We are working towards becoming ADA accessible by 2027!) It is 5 steps up to the first floor level, and 14 steps from the first to second floor, where the gender-neutral bathroom is located. Da Vinci has masks and COVID tests available at our events. We can reserve seats for low-vision and Deaf and HoH community members as needed. DVAA exhibitions are free to visit and all of our programs are free or suggested donation.
