Our Exquisite Corpse

Illustrators Ireland have teamed up with illustrators from France to create a GIANT Exquisite Confinement Corpse. It’s not as disgusting as it might sound - In the 1920s a group of Dadaists came up with the “Exquisite Corpse” as a way for artists to collaborate on a single piece of work. So our Exquisite Portraits will be created by a bunch of people together.

How can you help? We need you to add some artwork based on nature and wildlife - some of the poetic elements from the outdoors - to this strange family portrait. We are looking for you to create: birds, flowers, plants, insects, leaves, mushrooms, blossoms, snails, squirrels… your own pictures of anything you love that comes from nature around you.

To participate:

Artwork should be around A6 in size (standard postcard sized).

Please use bright colours

You can put your name and age on the back of your piece
