  • I've been reading and hearing a lot of negative bruhaha all over the interwebs about this year's Nuit Blanche, too many people, too many drunk people, that it's become too commercialized, there wasn't as much quality art or enough pieces outdoors, not enough traditional art, too much weird art, etc., etc.. Wah-won. I have to say I disagree... almost all of the art I saw was outdoors. And I felt there were many stunning pieces. But then I did do a little research before hand, knew exactly which pieces that were "must-sees" and planned ahead. I also sought out some of the lesser-known art, done by independent artists... and I still managed to see most of the sponsored pieces I was interested in too. Yes, I did notice it was busier this year but I didn't let that impede my enjoyment of the night. Granted, Queen Street West was a little ridiculous busy at times and I avoided areas like the club district downtown (common sense people!)... but I'm glad this is generating so much attention... it can only mean more sponsorships, more artists and more creativity for the next year. I knew what to expect traffic/TTC-wise, based on last year, and pretty much walked everywhere... next year I may bike though bc my feet are still sore. Was it perfect? No. Were there douchebags out? Yes. Were there a lot of amazing people out too? Damn skippy. Did the amazingly inspirational pieces outweigh the odd drivel here & there? Hells yes. Was if fun? Hells to the motherfrakking yes. What it comes down to is that Nuit Blanche is what you make of it. It's an event for everyone, yes, even the common-folk... it's not some fancy-shmancy elitist art show for richie mcgees only. And c'mon guys... it was FREE after all. A few memorable pieces for me were: The Big O (giant floating, spinning circle of film) Auto Light (van perforated in patterns and emitting light) Those ginormous clowns (I felt like I was in Gotham City and the Joker was playing a trick on Batman) The burlesque show at Gladstone A random bondage show I discovered in Parkdale The fireshooting stage in Liberty village The civil rights showcase at Lamport stadium and Sadie's Diner... for staying open all night xoxo.
