Tonight at 6:52pm, art takes over downtown Toronto for 12 hours with
Nuit Blanche
. For tips and starter schedules, check out me and Mark Medley's
"Nuit x 3"
published in the
National Post Toronto
section today. Also helpful could be the great
Gabrielle Moser
's summary of her
Nuit Blanche tips
over at
www.canadianart.ca
.
In an interesting turn, there are a few unofficial Nuit Blanche projects that will place a focus on political issues:
The Ordinary People project
encourages art supporters to stop at the stroke of midnight and hold up a sign reading "art" for 4 minutes and 33 seconds
. While it's obviously a part tribute to John Cage, it's also intended to underline the idea that ordinary Canadians do like art. (Stephen Harper, of course, has suggested the opposite.)Over on Facebook the one-namer Alize
is suggesting a group of people wear T-shirts reading "I'm part of gentrification. Fuck!"
Apparently iampartofgentrification@gmail.com will hook you up if you're more against Facebook than Starbucks, or something like that.And the Department of Culture,
in a mock memorial, encourages folks to drop by 100A Ossington from 7pm to 2am and light a candle for "all that would be lost if the Harper Conservatives win a majority government"
. No matter what you do, have fun! And bring snacks!
