In this free workshop, guests joined Sculpture in the City artist, Elisa Artesero for a free cocktail & creative workshop to gift a sunset that can be held in the palm of a hand.
In this immersive workshop, guests created a pocket-sized piece of Light Art—an intimate sculpture designed to be treasured, whether offered to someone special or kept as a luminous reminder for the maker. Inspired by the Light Art practice of Sculpture in the City artist Elisa Artesero, everyone was expertly guided through crafting a sculptural form that resembled a beautifully wrapped gift yet unfolded to reveal a fleeting sunset that subtly transforms with the ambient light of its surroundings. A poetic object, a personal ritual, and a work of art, all in one.
The Garden of Floating Words is a neon poem that appears to be floating in the darkness from within the foliage of the garden planter. During the daytime, the words are revealed to be on tall rectangular clear acrylic stands, their structure echoing the tall glass buildings surrounding the garden space, but at night the words alone become the main feature. Using neon, a light source traditionally associated with the city, Artesero creates something ephemeral to make a space for quiet contemplation within the busy complex.
The Sculpture in the City 14th Edition event programme is supported by Activations & Promotions Partner, Eastern City BID – the Business Improvement District for the Eastern City.
