Aitken's Sleepwalkers

Sleepwalkers Thru February 12th...

From New York Magazine: "Eight exterior walls of the Museum of Modern Art and the American Folk Art Museum do double duty as screens for the striking new video-art project, Sleepwalkers, which will transform 53rd and 54th Streets into a vast outdoor multiplex. Doug Aitken's five short interconnected films tell the story of one night in the lives of five New Yorkers, played by Donald Sutherland, Tilda Swinton, Cat Power, Seu Jorge, and an unknown, Ryan Donowho, a teenage busker whom the artist met in the subway. Aitken calls the spectacle a “silent film for the 21st century.” Projected every evening from 5 to 10 p.m. for 28 consecutive days, the show is likely to be the most-seen in MoMA’s history." — Sia Michel
