Dream Window (at Northern Spark)

Commisioned for Northern Spark, a late-night participatory arts festival in the Twin Cities, Minnesota 2015

Rebecca Krinke’s exhibition of her June 2015 Northern Spark commissioned project - Dream Window - a surreal 4-poster bed suspended high in the girders of Mill City Museum’s Ruin Courtyard. Translucent layers of bedding illuminated from within - with hints of black feathers and straw - created a place and object of wonder (with a dash of terror). On the ground below, Krinke invited Northern Spark goers to contribute a dream (or nightmare) for a collective “dream book” that she and her team sewed together through the night. Almost 500 dreams were collected and they were on display at Rosalux Gallery in Minneapolis.

Materials: Fabrics, plastics, straw, feathers, lights, bed
