Currently at Root Division: the group show Over My Dead Body. Thirteen groups of artists made individual artworks around the theme of artistic survival, installed them in Root Division, and then are spending this week in the gallery connecting their pieces together in a giant version of the game of Exquisite Corpse. I was at the opening Saturday night when all of the pieces were unveiled to the general public, and you can go back this coming Saturday evening to see how the artists link everything together. Of course the artworks are each awesome in their own right, and some of my favorites are pictured above: a De-Programming Chamber designed to undo "years of negative messages surrounding one's choice to pursue art professionally", a cozy corner nook meant to facilitate "personal exchange and intimate communication", and a take-off on Tom Marioni's famous free beer sessions that in this instance includes the artists' homemade brews.
