it felt like i knew you

Taking exhibition sleep to new heights?  Perchance to dream?  Aye, there's the rub with a daring subway performance art piece from George Ferrandi.

Antonellapavesse.com also comments here on a city that always sleeps on its underground along with 800 more pictures of  Big Apple MTA snoozing.  The blogger observes, "New York is the city that is chronically sleep deprived and takes naps on the subway."

To sleep, perchance to Dream ..

Aye, there's the rub, in Tilda Swinton's  performance art piece, The Maybe, currently running at MoMA with random unannounced appearances throughout the year, each time in a different location in the museum.



The Gothamist carries photos here, reporting she's there today (March 25th), maybe and if you hurry over.

More photos at this link.

Ms. Swinton originally staged The Maybe with artist Cornelia Parker in 1995 at the Serpentine Gallery in London, then continuing solo in Rome and Paris.  MoMA's exhibition is part of an effort to bring back historic performance art.  Chief Curator Klaus Biesenbach and the artist have been discussing MoMA's inclusion of The Maybe since 2005.
