The Exquisite Corpse Will Create a Remarkable Zine.

These are some photographs of our second session July 1, 2010. Sandra Arias, one of our Zine project participants, took these photos. With these photos, she told the story of our group and our work very nicely .

The objective for this work session was to encourage collaboration between participants.

We began by playing the Surrealist Parlour Game, Exquisite Corpse. I deliberately gave Parlour its arcane, archaic spelling for a reason. You know, that's the game where you fold the paper into four parts and then everyone draws a different body part and writes a different word. It is a collaborative game where you never know whats going to turn up. From there, everyone chose someone they wanted to work with for the rest of the session. I tried to get writers and visual artists to connect with each other, rather than have two writers or two visual artists work together.

Whats great about this project is that people are learning from each other and doing lots of new things. Goodness knows, my computer skills are improving. Just to post stuff on a blog and have it make some kind of sense, is an adventure for me.

It was also not such a hot day as our first day.
