The ibis ‘Sleep Art’ Exhibition Nov 24 – Nov 29

According to Freud, dreams are coded messages from the subconscious, Salvador Dalí frequently described his paintings as “hand painted dream photographs.” Now eleven British artists have gathered together to share their artistic visual expression of sleep at the special art exhibition which is hosted by ibis.
Each artist was asked to create a piece of work inspired by sleep.

An on the bed interview with David Bray as he creates his sleep art which will form part of the ibis Sleep Art Gallery at Gallery Different on week commencing 24th November 2014.
The exhibition opens on Monday 24th November at Gallery Different – however, it will be incomplete when it launches. The exhibition will also feature the Sweet Bed by ibis™. Every night during the exhibition an artist will sleep in the bed in the gallery and create a new work of art inspired by that night’s sleep. The exhibition will grow daily, the exhibition itself therefore becoming an installation space for the exploration of sleep and creativity.
Follow the creation of the artwork on the ibis instagram page from 24th November.
