That’s the paradox of sleep: a vitally necessary universal act, its need seems exceeded only by its lack. These are just some of the ideas that Figures of Sleep, a new exhibition at the University of Toronto’s Art Museum looks to unpack, though its sometimes meandering scope ranges more broadly. It said, in no uncertain terms, that even this, the most shared and necessary of all human acts, made women vulnerable. You get the idea: sleep, perhaps more than anything else, rests at the core of all human experience. Figures of Sleep spans the experience from the intimate to the universal, effectively recasting an ultimately solitary act in multiple frames.
