Response: Sleeping as Art

I believe that Bill Rancic said it best, “art is in the eye of the beholder.”  I think people who believe that sleeping is a form of art have gone a little overboard.  It almost seems like a joke.  Perhaps I am missing something but I just don’t get it.  Some people might have more of a creative or artistic edge and so they might understand it but I surely don’t.  Also, unless Tilda Swinton took some sort of sleeping aid before hopping into that tiny cube to take a nap, I am a bit skeptical that she actually managed to get some sleep.  I am sure many people went to watch her and its a bit tough for a room full of people to stay quiet.  Maybe some may think that marveling at an actress’s unique beauty while she sleeps is art but if it were a regular perhaps maybe an unattractive person, would it have had the same turn out? As far as Andy Warhol’s movie “Sleep,” I wouldn’t sit through that simply to watch someone sleep.
