Go Cry On Somebody Else's Shoulder by Kiyoshi Yamamoto is conceived as a longterm process -before, during and after the Bodø Biennale. Since the first meeting at the Tusenhjemmet last year, the artist has initiated several textile-based workshops that have addressed an older population in the city. During the biennale days, the work appears as a book exhibition of notebooks To dream, as well  as announced and unannounced performances.
