CORPUS COLLECTIVE

Corpus Collective Manifesto

* The Corpus Collective are: Ektoras Binikos, William Brovelli, Avi Rosen and Anna Viola Hallberg. (FERALISM is our approach to work in which individual boundaries are blurred and personal content, be it physical or intellectual, is unleashed to move through an exchange of hands, moving it from a static domesticated state to an active feral state, thus opening it up to numerous creative possibilities through a metamorphosis or mutation within the frame of the collective. A work or idea that is bound by copyright is considered a domesticated work, serving only a specific scope and is useless to an artist working under Feralism. The Progression of art will supersede the necessity for such rigid guarding of an image or idea. Corpus Collective will utilize the concept of appropriation towards the evolution of image and/or idea. Every artist working within the collective must relinquish fully his/her contributing work or concept to the ownership of the collective. However, artists are not bound to create work solely for the collective, and are rather encouraged to retain their individual practice and career, parallel to the collective. Corpus collective projects will be documented via video and extended into the realm of performance. The Corpus collective is a conceptual and process-based endeavor, exploring in an open and unrestricted way (within the frame and guidelines of the collective) the creative process in a "gestalt" power sharing format, which aims to establish a vortex of creative energy and ideas that will challenge the notion of the singular creative voice and practice, by multiplying that voice throughout a collective effort.
