About the project
The Beasting's Last Bits
44 Gaukel’s incredible and exquisite corpse-making project has taken many forms since it began just before the pandemic. Blind collaborations with limited time and materials by 95 artists of all stripes, styles, skills, ages, backgrounds and pressure tolerances have unleashed 96 original artworks, hundreds of videos, oodles of improvisation and a super cool booklet.
To mark 100 contributions/contributors to The Beasting, we invited digital artists to apply to create one of six sections of two gigantic three-part beasts to be printed in vinyl and installed on 5x10-foot panels on the Gaukel Block-facing exterior walls.
Check out the installation on the corner of the 44 Gaukel building in downtown Kitchener.
