Susan Hiller, Dream Mapping, 1973
An art event provocatively poised between an experiment (social or scientific) and a performance without an audience. Seven dreamers slept for three nights inside “fairy rings” in an English meadow marked by an abundance of circles formed naturally by Marasmius oreades mushrooms, a landscape feature that occurs in a number of British folk myths. The field became a site for dream experiences which were discussed and mapped the following morning. The dream maps of each participant were collected and copied onto transparent paper, sandwiched together, and traced to compile a composite group map for each night. A number of shared features were noted. (via)

The Madness of Art
In The Madness of Art video series, gallery owner Jim Kempner chronicles the madness of day-to-day happenings at Jim Kempner Fine Art.
In the latest episode, Jim looks through his exhibition inventory catalogue and contemplates whether or not he should add red dots, which imply that an artwork has been sold, to entice potential clients.
