Sleeping Upright is an online exhibition space set up to interrupt and punctuate the space between you and the internet.
Using the homepage, artists are invited to create new work that connects to modes of display and the experience and connection between the internet and boredom, value, repetition and meaning.
The online space launched with Reception Area an all female show that changed every day between 24 May – 2 June 2012 featuring:
Elena Damiani
Karin Dolk
Anna Ihle
Leslie Kulesh
Rose O’Gallivan
Beatriz Olabarrieta
Hannah Perry
Clunie Reid
Samara Scott
Lucy Woodhouse
Reception Area sat alongside the Mika Rottenberg exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary and was also on display in The Study at Nottingham Contemporary.
