‘Something to Hold in the Let Go’ was a series of workshops held in puntWG by Clementine Edwards, Dagmar Bosma, Karin Iturralde Nurnberg, Raoni Muzho Saleh and Sophie de Seriere. During a week we shared our practices among each through different games, workshops and activities. While doing that we gather some initial material to get started towards the creation of a collective installation.
By the end of the week we all came up with a craft workshop that we opened to the public. This was the ‘opening’ of our exhibition. The invitation was to join us in our creative process and intuitively create different pieces which would later on be gathered in a ‘Gay Sky’ installation by us. We received more than 60 visitors, which all engaged in the making of different crafts with material we provided them. It felt very special to have an artist and art student community visit our exhibition while the work was not ready, and instead invite them to take part in the initial moment of creation.
After this workshop we took all the different crafts and composed the ‘Gay Sky’. For the ‘finissage’ we invited everyone again to come look at our installation, now including their contributions.
