Cadavre Exquis - Portfolio / Manet´s Olympia
Inspired by the Surrealist´s favourite game, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung gave an artist a work of art and asked to take from it a detail or an idea of choice and create a new artwork from it using a technique and media typical of their own artistic practice. The new artwork was passed on to the next artist from a group of 11, all given the same task. The resulting series reveals a constant loss and gain of information, rendering each artist´s interests and signature visible in the contrast.
Each work is the interpretation of the preceding work - beginning with Edouard Manet´s classic "Olympia ". Only at the end did the full series become visible, taking up the entire FAS newspaper on 23 August 2020, when it was first presented. Thus, a collective work of art was created that became a document of the year 2020, from Corona to Black Lives Matter. Schellmann Art published the series of 11 digital pigment prints on hand-torn rag paper.
