Sleepwalkers At MOMA

Leave it to MOMA to reinvent the drive-in for New Yorkers. Filmmaker Doug Aitken's Sleepwalkers at The Museum of Modern Art is more of a walk-in. It's playing every night through February 12th and it's free. This night installation, produced by Creative Time, features eight large-scale moving images projected on and around the museum.

The images tell the stories of five New Yorkers (played by actors including Donald Sutherland and the incomparable Tilda Swinton) as they venture into the city at night. The five characters come together in different combinations throughout the course of each evening's viewing. Because the film is projected at eight locations around MOMA, viewers must circle the building to fully participate in the experience. You can even hear commentaries on your cell phone by calling 408-794-0886.
