Canadian Urbanism Uncovered

Public Art for Sleepwalkers

Nuit Blanche is well over, but there’s a smaller-scale project launching tonight that similarly takes aim at the late-night public-art-viewing demographic. Through an experimental window space on Queen West, the aptly named Sleepwalker Projects will be presenting contemporary art “to those who are out and about in the wee hours: the time when, we believe, things begin to happen.” For the inaugural exhibition, artist Fedora Romita has created a 21-day poster project (ie. each day for 21 days, a new poster will be added to the space for all to see.) Both the exhibition and the overall project are coordinated by Alissa Firth-Eagland. Keep your eyes open at 787 Queen West, next to Dufflet Pastries, tonight to see the first piece in the series.
