Colexquis: a project by Claire Deniau and Valérie Mary
Colexquis: An exquisite corpse in/with/about colour between Claire Deniau (Paris) and Valérie Mary (Bordeaux).
The project starts with a flat support, dimensions 18 x 14 cm.
One of the artists starts colouring it (no further rules), puts her initials and date on the back and posts it to the other artist, adding the image on the blog. The other artist picks up a colour from one of the edge of the image, and indicates the position on the back with her initials. Then she replicates the colour and its position on a new work (adding her name and date at the back of it). Then she creates a whole new image that she sends back, keeping the first work, etc...
The marks at the back of the successive works will help define the final display as a visual exquisite corpse.
Each step of the process only requires the posing of the last image created.
