LightJam, ArtJam, ResonanceJam (Gnesta, Sickla 2017)
”If musicians can jam together, then why not visual artists?” was the question posed by Lena Strand – artist, teacher and long-time friend. Yes, why not? And so we decided to have a LightJam; our first try was pure improvisation, conducted by four artists (three of us had actually never met before). It turned out so inspirational, that we invited a few more people to stage an ArtJam in the settings of Satan’s Democracy. Some time later, the concept was taken up once more by artist Julia Adzuki and myself. Within the month of September 2017, Julia and I did ResonanceJam #1 and #2 in two different venues.
All of these jam sessions except the ArtJam were presented publicly, and invited visitors to take part actively.
