For those of you who have been readers for a while, you may remember we mentioned something about an upcoming “New York Public Art Project”.

Well that project is Doug Aitken’s Sleepwalkers, a video art piece that will be projected onto the EXTERIOR walls of the Museum of Modern Art. How fantastic is that?

I don’t want to give away details (although I’m sure most of you have already read plenty about it in the press recently) but I have no doubt it will be both fascinating and beautiful. You can see it tonight until February 12th, from 5PM to 10PM.

Before (or after) going, I highly recommend checking out Doug Aitken’s book “Broken Screen“, in which he has casual discussions with other creative luminaries like Robert Altman, John Baldessari, Rem Koolhaas, and Ed Ruscha about art, modern life, and the concept of nonlinear and visually fragmented film, among other things. The beauty of the book is that it really feels like you are listening to two artists chat over coffee. A tone that we like a lot here.
More info to come after the opening party tonight.
