The Institute of Modern Art (IMA) begins its 2016 exhibition program begins with a major commission by Beirut-born, Rotterdam-based artist Rana Hamadeh. The Sleepwalkers is the latest chapter in her project Alien Encounters (2011–ongoing). This immersive filmed play departs from the story of the infamous Egyptian serial-killer sisters Raya and Sakina Ali Hamam. It is the result of an exciting co-commission by the IMA, The Showroom, London, and Nottingham Contemporary with Flat Time House, London, and Primary, Nottingham. Hamadeh's recent exhibitions include Agitationism, Eva International, Limerick; A Needle Walks into a Haystack, 8th Liverpool Biennial; and Here and Elsewhere, New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York (all 2014).
