NEWS: Sleepwalking Your Way Round MoMA

CULTURE: Sleepwalking Your Way 'Round MoMA

If you've ridden the New York City subway in the last few weeks, you've probably seen posters for it, and wondered what the hell it is. If you work in Mid-town, you might have stumbled onto Sleepwalkers, a Doug Aitken piece being projected onto the four walls of MoMa, and wondered what the hell it is.

The project is a 15-minute movie starring Donald Sutherland, Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power), Tilda Swinton, Seu Jorge, and Ryan Donowho.

While you're becoming part-human/part-art/part-cog in Aitken's masterplan you can dial (408) 794-0886 to get some commentaries. The piece is running from now until February 12, nightly from 5 to 10pm.

Here is a teaser for Aitken's American movie debut:

This is why I love NYC. Awesome.

why do you call a 408 area code (san jose, ca) to get info on a movie in nyc?

This is why I hate(envy) New York.

Damn that's cool.

ah, holy crap. that seems cool.
why must toronto suck.

I need to plan more NYC trips, I really do.

Well, now that it's fucking $22 to get in to MoMa, at least you can still get something for free.

Ryan is one of my friends, and this is a really cool project. Caught some of it (without the commentary) last night.

Friday nights are free. . .but it's PACKED.

Since it has reopened, MoMa has always been free on Friday nights, so thats another way to avoid spending the $, but then its a little more crowded because new yorkers flock to free shit.

Now all I need is a plane ticket to New York, or a teleportation machine. Either would be fine.
