Following the success of our Democracy exhibition, which formed part of Design Event (the North East design festival) last year, we are pleased to announce that Sumo will be producing an exciting new exhibition called Exquisite Corpse for Design Event North East 2010.

The exhibition which will run at the Newcastle Arts Centre for two weeks will present a contemporary take on the surrealist parlor game Exquisite Corpse, in which an image is formed by a series of participants.

An international collection of designers have signed up to take part in the exhibition, you can find out more on the Exquisite Corpse website.

Sumo has created the identity for this year’s Design Event North East, the Newcastle-based design festival which will take place from 22-31 October.

Design Event North East aims to develop designers in the early or middle stages of their careers, as well as promoting design in the region. Although the programme is yet to be announced, this year’s event will include exhibitions, video installations, the Design Event Mart and talks, all inspired by the theme of communication.

Sumo are also producing an exhibition for the festival, which will take place at Newcastle Arts Centre during the event. The exhibition, called ‘Exquisite Corpse’ will bring together work from designers and illustrators around the word for a visual game of chinese whispers.
