The Elaborate Collaborate
Donation protected
The Elaborate Collaborate is a large-scale collaboration between Oklahoma visual artists. The exhibition embraces the exquisite corpse, as method of collaboration.
42 artists will create a series of multi media works on paper that will evolve over the five weeks (Jul-Aug 2015) it is installed at IAO Gallery in Oklahoma City. Ten video artists and one sound artist are creating a 10 minute video collaboration that will be screened during the exhibition. An Exquisite Corpse Poetry Game Event will be held on Thursday, Jul30, led by poet and visual artist Kerri Shadid.
Through this exhibition, the public will be invited to observe artists at work in the gallery, while watching a large-scale collaborative artwork take shape. Nothing of this kind has been done in Oklahoma.
Kelsey Karper and romy owens are independent curators leading this experimental exhibition.
Exhibitions of this size and scope cost money to produce: supplies, design and publicity, opening, closing receptions, signage, travel, and time! We need sponsors to make this exhibition happen. This exhibition is free and open to the public. Please help us continue to create quality exhibitions for Oklahoma by supporing this fundraiser. Thank you!
