SLEEPLESSNESS in TR Spend the Night in Anna Baumgart's room |
|
|
A life-sized replica of artist Anna Baumgart's room was set up on the small stage of TR Warszawa: her window, bed, also the street sounds. The artist was inviting a solitary spectator to spend a night in her bedroom and experience the condition of sleeplessness. The spectator/actor trapped in this reality was supposed not to sleep and not to leave the room before the night was over. She/he was able to consult the artist's private archives on her computer or call her friends, touch her art works. The action was not only taking place at an unusual time of the day, and in a deserted theatre, but also at a symbolic time of year – from Christmas through New Year's Day – when cultural institutions are closed and people are busy with their private lives. During the project the room has undergone minor changes.
December 20, 2005 through January 2, 2006, including Christmas and New Year's Eve, from 10 pm to 6 am |
20th December 2005 - 2 January 2006 Actions TR visual artists in the theater / TR Warszawa, 2005/2006 Actions aimed at perceiving different fields of the human activity – contemporary art, business, advertising, sport - through the notion of performativity. Politics, school classes, ceremonies are being staged, even if theatre does not often examines everyday life, its context and cultural impact. AKCJE TR offered an insight into the performativity from the point of view of other social situations. Invited visual artists would blur the distance between art and everyday life. > MILK - TAKE AWAY THEATER | Rafał Betlejewski / Betlej > SLEEPLESSNESS in TR | Anna Baumgart > ALTHAMER TR 1 | > ALTHAMER TR 2 | > VIRUS IN THE THEATER PERFORMANCE | Sędzia Główny / Chief Judge Group > FACES | Katarzyna Kozyra |
