SLEEPATHON is an overnight experience by LINDA MARY MONTANO for RAPID PULSE 2016 taking place at DEFIBRILLATOR GALLERY, 1463 W CHICAGO AVENUE, CHICAGO, USA, on SUNDAY 05 JUNE 2016.
DESCRIPTION | Embracing a workshop format, participants will sleep together in the gallery as a work of art by Linda Mary Montano. Attempting to dissolve the boundaries between art and life, Montano continues to actively explore her art/life through shared experience, role adoption, and intricate life altering ceremonies. The SLEEPATHON is preceded by a GLANDATHON, an interactive laughathon/cryathon experience for everyone featuring exercises that focus on a single gland in the human body, encouraged by 3 minutes of Montano's videos.
BIOGRAPHY | LINDA MARY MONTANO is a seminal figure in contemporary feminist performance art and her work since the mid 1960s has been critical in the development of video by, for, and about women. Her artwork is starkly autobiographical and often concerned with personal and spiritual transformation. Montano’s influence is wide ranging – she has been featured at museums including The New Museum in New York, MOCA San Francisco and the ICA in London.
