50,000 Beds A Project by Chris Doyle has commissioned forty-five different artists to make short videos, each set in a different hotel, motel, or inn across Connecticut. The exhibition focuses on the hotel room as a site filled with narrative potential. Familiar yet foreign, a hotel room combines experiences of both intimacy and anonymity. The short videos will show a diverse range of artistic responses and themes—from fiction to documentary to a consideration of the relationship between travelers who stay in hotels and the laborers who work in them. 50,000 Beds A Project by Chris Doyle has commissioned forty-five different artists to make short videos, each set in a different hotel, motel, or inn across Connecticut.
