Reseña del editor:

Based on the surrealist game of the Exquisite Corpse, "Beauty and the Beast" was created in an artistic version of telephone. One artist started the story rolling by drawing the first page. Then the final panel of that page was passed onto the next illustrator who continued the story based on just the information in that single panel. After that page was drawn, the final panel was passed to a third illustrator, and so on. The result is a surreal journey through the minds of 28 illustrators: sometime terrifying, sometimes humorous, and then sometimes just downright bizarre. With every turn of the page expect to find surprising connections and startling juxtapositions.

Biografía del autor:

The Exquisite Corpse Festival uses the surrealist parlor game to inspire collaborations in unlikely media and between unlikely artists. The original exquisite corpse was a writing/drawing game where multiple artists would come together to create a simple poem or drawing. Instead of collaborating through communication and negotiating, they collaborate through play and trust. Imagine a piece of paper folded in thirds. Two lines are drawn across the top fold to represent the neck and two lines are drawn across the bottom fold to represent the waist. The three artists pass the paper around them: one to draw the head, one to draw the body, and one to draw the legs...the catch is that once each artist is done, they fold the paper back so none of the artists can see what they have drawn. It is only once the piece is complete and unfolded that the artists see what the others have drawn. This controlled chaos creates the spark of friction rather than the stoic agreement. The finished piece reveals startling juxtaposition and surprising connections, revealing more about what connects us rather than what separates us. The Festival has been playing this game since 2010 with hundreds of artists at this point. We have taken the corpse off the page and thrust it into the wold theater, dance, music, tattooing, event scores, and more!
