Sleepover, Serpentine Gallery
On 30 July 2010 the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London staged Sleepover, an overnight event of talks, films, experiments and a midnight feast plus a series of Insomnia Labs featuring talks, workshops, lectures and discussions on professional insomniacs, the night, dreaming, sleep, and the productivity of sleeplessness. Artists, architects, and musicians hosted activities throughout the night, exploring ideas of mapping sleep and the psychedelic qualities of insomnia. This segment documents one event from that night, Lullaby, a performance by artist/musician Dale Berning. (24 minutes)
