Description
Exquisite Corpse Every year, we host an art-making activity that bridges the gap between those who are able to visit BRC, and those who cannot. This year we embrace Burning Man's theme, Evolution, bringing into play a fun side note in art history: the game of Exquisite Corpse. Exquisite Corpse is best known as a collaborative drawing game invented by the Surrealists. Stop by The Culture Labs to play a game with us. Others who aren't able to join us on the playa this year have sent us incomplete games. On playa we'll finish these games and send them back to them, postmarked BRC. Get under The Microscope! In collaboration with our camp mates and friends from the Burning Man Regional Network, we've created a giant petri dish, complete with giant microscope! Our microscope has a video camera inside. We invite you to lie in a petri dish of plushy micro-organisms and speak about your personal evolution. Recordings will be projected at night on a 50 foot screen.
