CIVILIAN Art Projects in Washington, D.C., is presenting "Exquisite Corpse" - a collaborative photo project curated by Corcoran Photography alums Jessica Cebra, Dave Gustine and Marissa Long. Invented by Surrealists in 1925, the Exquisite Corpse method involves a group of collaborators assembling a collection of words or images - each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person has contributed.

THE PROJECT'S photographers are an eclectic mix in themselves, including many artists based in D.C., and others living in New York, California, and as far away as China and South Africa. The "Exquisite Corpse" photographers are Ken Ashton, Page Carr, Jessica Cebra, Jenn DePalma, Ginger Farnham, Dave Gustine, Avi Gupta, Kyoko Hamada, Whitney Hubbs, Paul Jeffreys, Marissa Long, Seth Lower, Michael Lease, Kate MacDonnell, Antonio McAfee, Andy McMillan, Ed Panar, Laurel Plak, Eric Powell, Ahndraya Pariato, Cory Riggie, Paul Schiek, Mike Terzano, Zach Storm, Sarah Small, Asha Schecter, Sarah Wilmer and Jason Zimmerman.

ON THURSDAY evening, June 24, the opening reception was held at Civilian Art Projects, 1019 Seventh St., N.W., Washington, D.C., 202-607-3804, www.civilianartprojects.com. Exhibition hours are Wednesday and Saturday 1-6 p.m., Friday 4-8 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday by appointment.
