Hello Tim,
These might be interesting:
'The Return of the Cadvre Exquis', The Drawing Center, New York 1993 a
catalogue to accompany an exhibition of contemporary cadvre exquis with
essays reflecting on the intentions of the original Surrealist cadvre
exquis and the current value of the game given that drawing is a
completely different animal now. See Charles Simic who doesn't trust
automatic drawing and writing.
Surrealist women, An International Anthology edited by Penelope
Rosemont, Athlone Press, London 1998. This includes first hand accounts
of the shift from written game 'leaflets' to the visual game cadvre
exquis and the delirium it induced. See Simone Kahn.
Best wishes

Subject: Automatic drawing
Dear All
I am a student at Norwich School of Art, researching for a dissertation
on the above. It is based around the automatic drawing practice of
Unica Zurn, and the artists who encouraged her in this; Hans Bellmer and
Henri Michaux. Choosing these artists is partly a 'hook' on which to
hang an examination of automatic drawing in relation to mental illness,
libido and language.
What I'm puzzled about is how automatic drawing is currently viewed:
- Is there any interest or research?
- Is there any consensus on what it is?
Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Tim Mellors
