TOGETHER
Artists: Witt Siasoco & Norma Dycus Pennycuff
TOGETHER is a place for gathering, contemplation, remembrance, and conversation. The artwork was created in response to the recent tragic losses of young people and adults in the Rhinelander area to suicide. Over the period of a year, the artists asked groups of high school students and other community members “What would you say to someone that you have lost connection to?” The audio responses are accessed through embedded plates using bone conduction, an isolated sound experience through touch.
TOGETHER was created as a part of the Arts For Everybody initiative, a larger national project through One Nation One Project, a national arts and health initiative between Artists, Local Governments, and Community Health Providers designed to activate the power of the arts to heal our communities. TOGETHER is a collaboration between Norma Dycus Pennycuff (Eagle River, WI) and Witt Siasoco (Minneapolis, MN).
Experience TOGETHER at Hodag Park, Rhinelander, WI.
