From the Cradle to the Grave: Celebrating the Life of Vesalius, Session Two: The Grave

Working with our conservation team, celebrate Vesalius’s life with a hands-on workshop producing your own “exquisite corpse” in the Gladys Brooks Book & Paper Conservation Lab.

During the afternoon’s Grave workshop, we focus on producing a Vesalian-themed exquisite (or rotating) corpse. Loosely based on the Surrealist parlor game in which a picture was collectively created by assembling unrelated images, this workshop will employ a special, rotating binding structure and mix-matched facsimile images from NYAM’s rare book collections to allow students to create their own unique, moveable pieces of art.

Please note, if you have already registered for the Festival, and now wish to register for a workshop, please contact Sinead Moloney at smoloney@nyam.org or 212 822 7301.
