April 14–July 24, 2016 - For this exhibition, the Mead Art Museum commissioned contemporary artists to complete these designs in the spirit of the Exquisite Corpse. Each participant was allowed to select designs from the Mead’s holdings and extend them into full compositions. They were given complete freedom to create anything they could imagine, as long as their creations were connected to the lines of the original print, a guideline taken from the Surrealists themselves. Just like on that “idle, weary night” in Paris, the rules were simple; the results are not.
