After 7 years the CASHMERE IF YOU CAN project has come to an end. The last installment was recorded informally at Gertrude Contemporary in Sarah crowEST's studio. The structure of the Initiation Ceremony, (to welcome our last member JOHANNA NORDIN) pushed the limits of comfortable silence between familiar acquaintances and the awkward silence of strangers in a confined area getting to know one another. Abstract parallels and unified collectives were juxtaposed to create a spacial galaxy of hybrid nuances. Body geometrics were observed and recorded in order to investigate the Cosmological Principle. Origin, structure and development come in many forms and only when we began to reflect on our own evolution and the lessons learnt from a project such as this, we began to understand the attractive and repulsive forces of life on more subtle levels. The dynamics of comfort and tension were tested leaving everyone to contemplate the stronger and weaker electromagnetic systems that originate from the same fundamental force. This project started with 1 and ended with 7, yet the 7 completed the project as 1. With completion comes the ethereal reflection of times past and things to come and the concept of time in relation to what has been created and what already exists.
