Exquisite Corpse | Contemporary Art, 09 9 2008 - 03 9 2009
Exquisite Corpse is an exhibition of 17 works from the IMMA Collection that seeks to reveal a variety of perspectives on the Collection. The title of the exhibition is drawn from the game "Exquisite Corpse" which was invented by the Surrealists in 1925 where a collection of words or images are collectively assembled. In this case the game's structure is used to tap into the eclectic character of IMMA's Collection through the choices and viewpoints of individuals from a broad spectrum of the arts including Dawn Ades, Gerald Barry, Aileen Corkery, Barrie Cooke, Michael Craig-Martin, Mark Garry, Deirdre Horgan, Jaki Irvine, Nicola Lees, Tony Magennis, Lisa Moran, Frances Morris, Colm Tóibín and Mick Wilson.
