Calling all art fans and insomniacs…
This weekend is Nuit Blanche 2009, that runs from sunset (6:55pm) on Saturday, October 3 until sunrise on Sunday. Spacing contributors will the using our Twitter account to bring you highlights of what’s on during the night, so make sure to add us for updates. You can also download the free Nuit Blanche interactive tools.
Here are some of the installations I plan to check out:
• Music Inside/Out, a sound and light installation taking place throughout the TELUS Centre (a nice chance to check out the new space, including Koerner Hall)
• BICITYCLE (Bike City), an interactive installation that looks at the issues of mobile life and homeless people in Japan
• Dance of the Cranes, a choreographed dance performance, which features two high-rise construction cranes
• Ice Queen: Glacial Retreat Dress Tent transforms tents and nomadic structures become shelter for the bod
• Night Equals Day, a film installation that captures 12 daylight panoramas of Regent Park
• twofold, a project by GALTstudio, explores the pace and intersections of a city
• PWN the Wall , a Graffiti Research Lab project that examines the relationship of graffiti artists and the city as their canvas
Also, don’t miss the Toronto Reference’s Library’s all-night, all-ages dance party. Yes, that’s right: there’s a dance party at the reference library.
