SCREENING – ECVP Vol. 3 – TRANS

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.
