Residency Highlight #1: Setting the world record for an Exquisite Field collaborative chalk drawing! At least, I think I hosted the first incarnations of this. What a great experience to have daughters and sons of all ages working together on this community activity. Try it with your neighbourhood or school. Simple rules: Use your imagination and draw whatever you would do if you had a wide open field of your own, continue the horizon of the sidewalk square next to yours and keep the same orientation of sky/ground. Social distancing activity approved! Exquisite Field goes on and on... #exquisitefield #collaborativedrawing #communitydrawing #sidewalkchalk (at Port Hope, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESPBIJgPgG/?igshid=1g0q5oxvrjoa3

Drawing as a Game: Exquisite Corpse

Exquisite Corpse is a drawing game devised by surrealist artists that remains popular with artists today. 

Here is how it works: 

Each artist received a sheet of paper and folds it into equal sections based on how many artists are participating. The sheets are smoothed out and each player draws whatever they would like in the top section, allowing the lines to cross the crease by a few millimeters. This sheet is then refolded back on this crease to conceal the drawing and is passed to the next artist who begins their drawing from these intial lines. The process continues until the last section is completed and the full collaborative drawing is revealed.

Here is a link a short post about Exquisite Corpse on artsy.

Drawing Collaboration: Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, Francisco Clemente

In 1984 Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat and Francisco Clemente collaborated on a series of drawings together.  The rules were simple: each artist was to begin three separate paintings and one drawing each. They’d leave enough “mental and physical space” (Bischofberger’s words) for the other artists to contribute to the painting. They’d then send their unfinished work on to the next artist kind of like the stories you’d write with your friends where someone would begin with a paragraph – sometimes stopping mid sentence – and the next person would begin to tell their own story, apropos of nothing but their own imagination.

This process went on for about a year, eventually evolving into a body of collaborative work by Warhol and Basquiat that was exhibited in 1985.
