COME TO BED | BOSI CONTEMPORARY
Bosi Contemporary Gallery, NYC
March - April 2015
CURATED BY ROYA SACHS
————————Come to Bed! is a group exhibition featuring the works of three female artists, Michelle Jaffé, Marta Jovanović and Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos. It focused on three sectors of communication that bring to play the different usages of the bed, from pillow talk, and self reflection, to technology with our need to stay connected. The installation included a month-long durational performance “Pillow Talk” by artist Marta Jovanović, in which audience members were invited to get into bed with the artist, and have a one on one pillow talk with Jovanović for however long they choose. Alluding to the intimate secrecy that is shared during the act, after each pillow talk, she would write a word or sentence on her guests pillowcase, which they could then hang on the gallery walls. As the days passed, the walls got thicker and thicker, just as the weight of the information and secrets Jovanovic was told clouded her mind.
