100 Artists Play a Collaborative Game
By Julia Rothman, Jenny Volvovski, and Matt Lamothe. Foreword by Dave Eggers

The Exquisite Book reinvents the classic surrealist drawing game The Exquisite Corpse for a new artistic generation. In these pages, 100 of today’s hottest indie artists each adorn a single page with brand new work, having only seen the page of the artist immediately prior. The result is a breathtaking visual journey with a roller-coaster narrative, each page wildly different from the next.

About the book:
Each of the book’s ten chapters resides on a ten-page according fold-out that lets you enjoy the artwork in an interconnected stream, as it was originally created by the artists themselves. Let The Exquisite Book unfold as you discover new horizons in art.

About the authors:
Julia Rothman, Jenny Volvovski, and Matt Lamothe are partners in Also Design, a design firm based out of Chicago and New York that has won several awards, including the ADC Young Guns award. Julia is author of the popular blog BookByItsCover.com, which showcases the design and layout of obscure books.

Dave Eggers is the author of several books, including What Is the What and Zeitoun. He is the founder of McSweeney’s publishing in San Francisco.
