    FOUR international artists, each known for a distinctive practice, came together to paper-and-print gallery STPI to "play a professional game", so to speak.

    The game is called cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) and it involves one artist creating a portion of an artwork, which will passed on to the next artist to pick up from where the former left off.

    The challenge is that each subsequent artist does not get to see much of what was created before him. In fact, he only sees a sliver of the previous portion, and draws inspiration from this sliver alone to execute his portion.
