Post-Nuit Blanche 2012

Phew! It's been a couple days since Ottawa's first all-night art event - Nuit Blanche - and I had a blast! There were over 6000 people that passed by our installation and well over 600 people partook in our photo-booth.  Our pop-up gallery ended up being jam packed with drawings, notes, and signatures.  The overall result was a-maz-ing!  Thank-you everyone who paid us a visit.  To those who danced with us, talked with us, took pictures with us, and made art with us!  Also our lovely volunteers and organizers of this city-wide event - THANK-YOU!  What a success!

Here's some chronological shots of our installation from start to finish! (click picture to enlarge)

And here's a look at the photo booth!

Nuit Blanche Ottawa 2012! This Saturday!


Ottawa is having its first Nuit Blanche this year! I will be popping up a gallery in front of the Ottawa School of Art with Lemonjellow Productions.

Inspired by the creative artistry and imagination of pop-up books, we are presenting a “pop-up gallery.”  Pre-constructed from recycled materials, this temporary gallery is mobile in the sense that we can “pop it up” anywhere in the city.  Our aim is to provide a space where anyone can contribute to this gallery on the spot.  The idea is to foster a communal spirit of sharing, interaction, and support from the ground up.  In essence anyone who wants to be, will become an artist participating in Nuit Blanche!

When: September 22, 6:22 pm - 4:22am
Where are we located?  35 George Street, in front of the Ottawa School of Art in the Byward Market

I will also have original prints on display at La Nouvelle Scene, a lovely french theatre on 333 King Edward Ave. as part of their Nuit Blanche installation with the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers.
