18 Sleep Series: ‘art by sleepers, for sleepers and art as sleep’
Abstract
This text reflects on a series of works, Sleep 48 (Stadtwerkstadt, Linz, 2018), Sleep 79 (C-Lab, Taipei, 2018-19) , Sleep 1237 (Performa Biennale, NYC, 2019), and Sleep 7 (Malmo Konstmuseet in collaboration with MFK, Metood För Konstnärlig frihet, 2021) that build on the idea of an aesthetics of sleep. The claim of these projects has been that it is possible to make ‘art by sleepers, for sleepers and art as sleep’.
