All about the art...
Work has been insane, and I have had no time or energy to maintain my blog, as you can see. So even tho it's better late than never, as promised, my Nuit Blanche post:So Toronto had it's second annual Nuit Blanche event this year (I thought I had blogged about the first one last year, but apparently I didn't, oh well!). The event is an all-night contemporary art crawl through the city (it goes on in other cities around the world, as well), and this year over a million people walked through the streets of Toronto to bask in the glory of local, national and international artists. This year's event was a bit different for me, since I worked half of it. Got to start out the night at the official VIP launch, where I met the mayor, some media ppl and randoms I didn't know. After the reception, it was off to some photoshoots, and THEN - the most exciting event for me at least - a photoshoot in the ghost subway station that was built underneath our normal subway line, called Lower Bay Station. The station was also the site of a sound installation as part of the Nuit Blanche exhibit - there's a whole other blog about it so read about it here, it's very cool. So while we were in the tunnel photographing, I ended up getting to be part of the shoot! Lol, not officially, but they let me have the pics as a keepsake. Very fun, and now I definitely have a lot more sympathy for those ANTM girls! All in all it was an awesome night and yay for next year's event!
