MOMA does Drive In











The 1 minute trailer for Doug Aitken's MOMA project, 'Sleepwalkers,' which can be found projected on the facades of mid-town Manhattan; turning the big apple into a big drive-in until February 12th. Showcasing a cast of celebrity night owls (Tilda Swinton, Donald Sutherland, Cat Power, Seu Jorge) alongside the unkown Ryan Donowho, which animate the architecture with their gestures, both physically and metaphorically, as their somnambulant presence starts to theactricise urban life.

As an aside, a 2004 interview between Doug Aitken and Werner Herzog, here, from Index magazine. Containing the immortal Herzogian line; "Theatre is dead...just let it expire like food in the supermarket."
