News from the Exquisite Corpse Festival from Nepal!

An email I received from a fan of the Exquisite Corpse Festival:

Jason,

I dropped my Exquisite Corpse piece to frame before coming home to Nepal. I was carrying around this classic descriptive line on the order claim sheet they gave me but only noticed it today when picking it up. Written by the young Nepali woman who took my order: “Painting of body structure of man with huge brain type” this is probably a better title than my “Runners’ High 2/10″.  So I am happy to represent to you, now in it’s current home in Nepal:

“Painting of Body Structure of Man with Huge Brain Type” by Matt Tackett, Alexis Vergalla, and David D’Ostilio.

SATURDAY, MARCH 31 : The Exquisite Corpse Film Festival

From the depths of our collective unconscious comes the Exquisite Corpse Film Festival

Saturday March 31

6:00 PM

 at THE BOWERY POETRY CLUB!

The game of collaboration and consequences comes to the realm of video! Sometimes funny, sometimes trashy, sometimes emotional, and even some hip-hop will mash together into eight original short films. Each film is created by three filmmakers who do not know each other and have never met. The filmmakers gather together to watch the films for the first time with the audience!

No one has ever seen these films!!
(Not even the filmmakers’ themselves)

Here is what people have said about The Exquisite Corpse Festival:
Wendy Jean Wu says ‘THAT is absolute dopeage!’
Matt Taggart says ‘Wonderful! Awesome!’
Dug from the Nodd says ‘Mmmmmmm… now THAT’S some GOOD CORPSE!’
Bernard Dumaine says ‘I do like it!’

The Films Keep Coming In! March is going to be an exciting, exciting month!

While we can’t release any of the films or plots from the festival, we couldn’t help but sharing a couple stills from this delightful, little film that came in.

The last 10 seconds are being passed along to the next filmmaker today, so in a few weeks we can finally find out if he finds what he’s looking for!

Exquisite Corpse Film Festival:
Music! Animation! Suspense! Taxidermy! Comedy!

See Me Tell Me joins the exquisite corpse festival!

Information on See Me Tell Me: Inspired by the social connectivity of the street art movement, social media, and a desire to free art from its function as commodity, the artist seemetellme has placed hundreds of tiny works in the streets and subways of New York, London, and Paris. The complete record of these works and the comments of those who collect them are noted at seemetellme.blogspot.com. For the Exquisite Corpse Festival she is placing 30 See Me Tell Me Shifts along 26th street. These tiny dresses are fashioned after light summer frocks and decorated with graffiti seen in London, Paris, Bushwick, Williamsburg, Chelsea and SoHo this spring and summer.

The “Ideal Museum”, Part 1

Welcome to the opening of our “Ideal Museum,” an online homage to the surrealists’ collection of art works they admired!

Who would be more apropos to feature than the inimitable surrealist idol, Hieronymous Bosch and “The Garden of Earthly Delights, ” c.1500?
