This exhibit will present twelve unique NFTs in the form of an “Exquisite Corpse”. Exquisite Corpse was a famous game played among the great Surrealists in which each participant took turns writing or drawing within templates. They then would conceal their contribution and pass it on to the next player for further contribution. They used to do it on a sheet of paper by folding it, but now, we can use the vast possibilities of the digital medium as a reference to keep the tradition alive.
While cherishing the legacies left by traditional art movements, we open our senses to the immortal Exquisite Corpse game to undertake an exciting journey through the subconscious.
The Super Real Edition showcases a group of renowned international digital artists, including Ismail Amir (Malaysia), Hirofumi Ito (Japan), Ivan Casis (Panama), Nils Hansen (Germany), Juan Carlos Polo (Cuba), Fernanda Fierro (Mexico), David Durà (Spain), Isaac Malakkai (Spain), Elisyan (Mexico), Jose Peon (Cuba), Roger Haus (Spain), Anna Dart (Spain).
Known for their outstanding collective artworks gracing the most prestigious digital art shows and fronting global charity campaigns, Exquisite Workers were on a meaningful digital mission in outer space to create 504 unique NFTs from May 2021 to May 2022, with the last twelve NFTs to be revealed on the Super Real Edition. For each edition, one Surrealist artist was assigned to the crew. On this ultimate mission, all the great Surrealist masters come together to shine light on their imagination of cosmic proportions.
If Salvador Dalí had been able to navigate the NFT space, what sort of art would he have made? Would he have collaborated with Frida Kahlo? Would they have been whitelisted for Picasso’s exclusive NFT collection?
Exquisite Workers has selected a group of talented artists to answer these questions. They are about to land on Super Real to release the last twelve sophisticated artworks, each inspired by a grand Surrealist. These visionaries contributed to the chain of stunning 2D and 3D images without seeing the NFTs created before theirs, adding to a connecting block in real time within the Exquisite Corpse.
The Super Real is known as a digital agora and a safe haven beyond the rational thoughts and the everyday desires to explore, inspire and feel the echo of the heartbeat of the Earth. The Super Real represents the skull of immortality, and the snake of transformation, rebirth and creative force embraces it in a mindful silence.
