The title came from an early parlour game called 'Consequences' which used the written word. One person wrote a word on paper, folded it so that the next person could not see what was written, they added a word and folded it for the next person to write their word. It was then read. Example: Le cadaver/exquis/boira/le vin/nouveau. The exquisite corpse shall drink the young wine. The Surrealist artist movement made the game popular. They captured spontaneous, irrational words and images that flow through the human brain.
I gather that the process for producing the art work was for each artist to make a three part art piece depicting the human/non human form. The parts were then mismatched to produce the final art piece. These pieces were given an enigmatic title and the forms were certainly quite thought provoking !
The show was fun. I think the person(s) who put the parts back together must have had the most fun! I hope it is a travelling show and that it will be presented in other communities ... well worth seeing.
