sleepwalkers: Doug Aitken (HC)
By Klaus Biesenbach, Peter Eleey, and Doug Aitken
Dusk falls on a cold winter evening, and five characters awaken and dress and make their way out into nighttime New York City. In Doug Aitken's sleepwalkers, these characters provide a blueprint for the city-a living, breathing mechanism fueled by the desires and ambitions of its inhabitants, who, in turn, nourish and are nourished by the city's energy, breadth, and depth.
This book, which expands on the ideas raised by the film, contains essays by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator in the Department of Media at The Museum of Modern Art, and Peter Eleey, Curator and Producer at Creative Time, as well as conversations between Aitken and a variety of artists, architects, writers, and performers about different elements of city life—from the lit signage of Times Square to a taxi-driver's-eye view of the streets. The book, like the artwork, explores the intersection of ideas with the constant flow of life and energy that is New York. Includes 280 illustrations (275 color, 5 b&w).
