SCREENING – ECVP Vol. 3 – TRANS
Thursday, July 28, 2011 @ 8pm
Gallery West – 1332 Queen St. W.
(West of Dufferin/ East of Brock – on the North side of Queen)

The Exquisite Corpse Video Project (ECVP) is a unique video collaboration among artists from all over the world, inspired by the Surrealist creation method, the “Exquisite Corpse”.

Using the semi-blind, sequential method of the surrealists’ game, ECVP participants create video art in response to the first or final ten seconds of the previous/the following member’s work. Each member is asked to incorporate and respond to the segment received, creating transitions as they please, until everyone’s vision is threaded together into an instigating final “corpse.”

Though the “exquisite corpse” method was created by the Surrealists almost a century ago, the participating artists incorporate this process to produce experimental video art responding to our contemporary environment. The ECVP is an audio-visual variation of the Surrealists exercise, which demonstrates a wide range of aesthetics, concepts, and contexts present in the current International video art landscape. The inspiring process of exchange, among ‘strangers’ from around the world, illuminates the possibilities of globalized collective creativity through artmaking.

Exquisite Corpse Video Project 2 screening at Wikitopia in Hong Kong.

by Anders Weberg on 2010/08/30 in Latest news, Screening with No comments

Wikitopia is Hong Kong’s First Tinyfest on Collaborative Future held by Videotage.

Date: September 18, 2010 (Sat)
Time: 8:30pm–10:00pm
Venue: Doublehappiness Studio, Wan Chai

The Exquisite Corpse Video Project II (ECVP2) is a unique video collaboration among artists from all over the world, inspired by the Surrealist creation method, the “Exquisite Corpse”.

In the Surrealist ‘game’, a paper is folded such that each contributor sees only a small portion of the previous contributor’s work, and begins his own work from that small portion. When the last participant is finished, the sheet is unfolded to reveal a strangely divergent, yet contiguous form or figure.

Using the semi‐blind, sequential method of the surrealists’ game, ECVP participants create video art in response to the final ten seconds of the previous member’s work. Each member is asked to incorporate these seconds into their piece, creating transitions as they please, until everyone’s vision is threaded together into an instigating final “corpse.”

While the Surrealists are said to have created the method almost a century ago, only recently could such a fast‐paced, pan‐global, audiovisual variation of this exercise be produced. The inspiring process of exchange among ‘strangers’ from around the world illuminates the possibilities of globalized, collective creativity.

ECVP screenings and exhibitions have been taking place in various countries since June 2008, such as Sweden, US, UK, Greece, Canada, Brazil, Australia and South Africa.

The ECVP [Exquisite Corpse Video Project] is a video collaboration collaboration project inspired by the Surrealist creation method, the “Exquisite Corpse”. The project is coordinated by the Brazilian artist Kika Nicolela and currently has 63 participating artists from 21 different countries.

HOW?

In the Surrealist ‘game’, a paper is folded such that each contributor sees only a small portion of the previous contributor’s work, and begins his own work from that small portion. When the last participant is finished, the sheet is unfolded to reveal a strangely divergent, yet contiguous form or figure.

Using the semi-blind, sequential method of the surrealists’ game, ECVP participants create video art in response to the final ten seconds of the previous member’s work. Each member is asked to incorporate these seconds into their piece, creating transitions as they please, until everyone’s vision is threaded together into an instigating final “corpse.”

While the Surrealists are said to have created the method almost a century ago, only recently could such a fast-paced, pan-global, audiovisual variation of this exercise be produced. The inspiring process of exchange between artists from around the world illuminates the possibilities and potentials of a globalized, collective creativity.

WHERE?

ECVP Screenings and exhibitions have been taking place in various countries since June 2008, such as Sweden, USA, Greece, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa.
