LOCATION:Marciano Art Foundation\, 4357 Wilshire Blvd\, Los Angeles\, CA 90

DESCRIPTION:Special Screening\, February 27: Sleep\, a Film by Andy Warhol 
 featuring John Giorno\n\nAs a special event on the occasion of the exhibit
 ion JOHN GIORNO: NO NOSTALGIA\, the Marciano Art Foundation is proud to pr
 esent a one night only screening of Andy Warhol’s epic five hour and twe
 nty-one-minute silent film Sleep in conjunction with the Andy Warhol Museu
 m in Pittsburgh. Starring a young John Giorno\, Warhol’s first foray int
 o the world of filmmaking was made over several nights in the summer and a
 utumn of 1963. The film shows twenty-two close-ups of the poet Giorno\, wh
 o was briefly Warhol’s lover\, as he sleeps.\n\nBy documenting a single 
 action durationally with no dramatic narrative\, Warhol turned film into s
 omething that could be treated like a painting hanging on a wall\, or as G
 iorno himself put it: “the body of a man as a field of light and shadow.
 ” Sleep became a legendary work of experimental cinema and marked the be
 ginning of Warhol’s half decade focus on filmmaking as a central part of
  his artistic practice.\n\nSleep will be screened from 5-10:30 p.m. on Fri
 day\, February 27\, 2026. All other galleries in the Foundation will be op
 en for viewing during these extended hours.\n\nLos Angeles artist Christop
 her DeLoach created two event-exclusive bumper stickers\, each in a limite
 d edition of 250\, available to collect as tokens of attending this screen
 ing of Sleep here at Marciano Art Foundation.\n\nhttps://artweekguide.com/
