My 3 Nuit Blanche Pictures

by Julien on March 13th, 2009

Nuit Blanche was fun and exciting, and certainly the most enjoyable way to catch a disease from so many different people in just one night (the flu). Fun enough for me to get my old and heavy camera out of the house! And exciting enough for me to only manage to take 3 shots in total :-(

First up is what I understand to be the remnants of a performance I missed at the Art Matters show that took place at Les Territoires, in the Belgo building. The ‘I don’t give a shit and I rip my art up’ vibe of this is nice. There was a lot of other cool art around too - not seen on this picture: furniture that looked like it was made of cake+icing, a replica of the stargate (I think this one was part of a performance I missed too) and various gross and moldy-looking cakes that were actually edible-ish. Also cool and not in the picture, the Christian Marclay exhibition at DHC/ART, En Masse at Galerie Pangée and Jean-Maxime Dufresne at SKOL.

After the belgo sweat party, no time was left for either Usine C or the UQAM headquarters, so my two buds and I went straight for the Eaton center for YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN which was really swell. Props to them for their props, skills and various animu & vidya game references. The Red Bird Studios was the last stop of the night, endless fun was had with self-illuminated artworks. I don’t have a single shot of the art though, not even one of the drawing I was showing there. I do have a picture of my aforementioned two buds drinking beer at the Red Bird, but I’m censoring their faces off because they’re models. Enjoy?
