the sleeping productions
painters challenging each other
about us
Out of their comfort zone, artists who paint together naturally share the secrets of their practice while inevitably getting mutually influenced and challenged. We believe that when inhibition is lost, lightning strikes.
The Sleeping Productions are public live painting experiments by established and emerging, academics and outsider artists that typically last for a month. The participating artists immerse themselves for continuous 30 days in a pop-up shared studio in order to produce work on paper, all the while opening up their artistic processes to the public. Since its founding in Beirut 2019, the collective has done four productions with 10 Lebanese and Syrian artists.
