Rio Blanco Riders

Exquisite Corpse by Varujan Boghosian, Peter Thomashow, Marcus Ratliff

W. David Powell writes, “One group is a group of friends from Vermont who meet regularly for coffee and studio visits. This loose collective, known jokingly as the Rio Blanco Riders, all share collage and assemblage as their primary medium of artistic expression. Varujan Boghosian, Marcus Ratliff and Peter Thomashow met for this cadavre exquis session in Varujan’s studio in White River Junction, Vermont. They were the only crew who were physically in the same place for the game.”
