2005 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

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.
