Cocktail & Create – Sculpture in the City
Join Sculpture in the City artist Elisa Artesero for a free cocktail & creative workshop in gifting sunset.
In this immersive workshop, guests will sip on a complimentary themed cocktail as you are guided by Sculpture in the City Artist, Elisa Artesero to gift a sunset you can hold in your hand.
Inspired by the Light Art practice of Artesero, you will be expertly guided through crafting a sculptural form that resembles a beautifully wrapped gift yet unfolds 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.
