Februllage Launch Party!
Create an Exquisite Corpse with collage artists Mary Lewey and Stephanie Todhunter
Wednesday, January 31 (3-5pm) at the kathryn Schultz Gallery
20 max
$10 CAA Member; $20 General Admission
Please bring the following to this event: old magazines, XACTO blades or scissors, and some pre-cut images for collaging.
(other materials that would be helpful but not required: small cutting boards and glue sticks).
Bring your old magazines and your scissors (or XACTO blades if you have them) and kick-off a month of collage making by creating a collaborative Exquisite Corpse collage with Mary Lewey and Stephanie Todhunter!
Exquisite Corpse
A game in which each participant takes turns collaging onto a sheet of paper, folds it into thirds to conceal their contribution, and then passes it to the next player for a further contribution. (This type of game gained popularity in artistic circles during the 1920s when it was adopted as a technique by artists of the Surrealist movement to generate collaborative compositions.)
Mary and Stephanie will time the event- each artist will have a set time to add their details. They recommend bringing some pre-cut collage materials to this event, to facilitate the process.
There will be snacks and beverages- just bring your materials and lots of enthusiasm!
What is Februllage?
Februllage is a collaboration between Edinburgh Collage Collective and the Scandinavian Collage Museum. This initiative invites collage artists to make a “collage a day” throughout the month of February using the Februllage Official Word Prompt Calendar for 2024.
Participating artists are asked to set their own goals, whether they choose to make a collage a day or twice a week. Artists are invited to use #februllage or #februllage2024 so the works can be showcased with daily uploads.
We will be sharing our daily/weekly collages with the #CAAfebrullage hashtag on Instagram.
