2 artists to spend 5 days in bed at SMU to promote peace
SINGAPORE: Two performing artists are planning to "sleep for
peace".
They will be in bed for five days starting on Monday (11 - 15 Sept)
at the concourse of the Singapore Management University.
Artists Lee Wen and Kai Lam will be lying down to spread the
message of peace.
While Singapore might be calm and peaceful, the situation is not
the same around the world, what with the threat from
terrorism.
Their act also pays homage to John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who did a
similar stunt in 1969 to promote peace and protest against
war.
Members of the public can participate in the sleep-in, for five
minutes to half an hour or more.
The interactive installation is part of the Singapore Management
University Arts Fest 2006. - CNA /dt
