It’s Not What You Think

It’s Not What You Think is a series of pop-up performances using a mixture of artistic mediums to create a new work wholly inspired by the art work/installation in a gallery space/museum/school/restaurant, etc. It is our quickest of processes, where HOLDTIGHT designs a new show based on a pre-existing piece of work to shed more light on how the mixing of artistic mediums can stir curiosity and inform the work on both sides in unique ways. This specific piece was in response to & inspired by the artwork of Mikel Glass & produced by the cell theatre.
