The Tontine<\/h1>\n

\"Tontine\"<\/p>\n

W. David Powell writes, “The third group is a reunion of the Tontine originally formed by Todd Bartel, Bo Joseph, Michael Oatman, and James Scott. They were all students of Alfred DeCredico at Rhode Island School of Design, and they share similar processes, aesthetics, and a belief in the unfolding of an artwork over time. In an exhibition in Brooklyn in 2000 called \u201cTontine\u201d, this group created a work in the form of a quadrant in which each artist made their own quarter of the work and then they were joined together to form one piece. This collaborative approach shares the chance association approach of the cadavre exquis drawing, but the structure differs. Bo and Todd suggested that their project be called \u201cDrawn and Quartered: An Exquisite Corpse Re Memberment.\u201d Their project was all done from various locations and files were sent to Todd for digital assembly.<\/p>\n

\nThe artists of the four individual works for “Tontine” chose media consistent with their practice and made a collage which was then digitally quartered and reassembled. The sequencing of the parts was determined by a toss of the coin.<\/p>\n
