Bondage






This is definitely a PG post, as it shows some almost nudity and bondage, which is an art for of tying each other up with ropes. The huge building I mentioned in my earlier post was meant for this show-event. You could walk around and take photos of everything you saw. Pretty cool and pretty surprising.

Light my fire





As I said in my earlier post, the city was covered with different hot-spots where interesting events and happenings took place. At Queen West near a huge building few people had fun with fire. Fire throwers were here and there and cool photos may have been taken, unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me and so I snapped some.

Nuit Blanche






As every year Nuit Blanche is offering interesting performances, art, competitions and exhibitions.
Here is a little overview of what was offered this week. More to come in next posts.

Nuit Blanche madness



World's longest street Yonge St. was so busy at a late hour like during a New Year's Eve. The southern strip of the street was closed and lots of happenings, performances and shows took place there and its side streets.

The greatest art experience.


Nuit Blanche at College Street








That was by far the coolest exhibition I have ever been, as you had to take off your shoes and socks to be able to visit and you got an umbrella as well. You got to walk in water and step on logs and pass showers. So it was like a forest or a rain forest, however you felt like.

After the event you could sanitize your feet and dry with a tissue. Such a cool idea and nicely organized.

Nuit Blanche at Japanese Cultural Centre



Japanese had put together a cool exhibition about their architecture, art, culture and transportation. Here is a mini maquette of Tokyo.  

Nuit Blanche at Bata Shoe Museum




Shadow dancer and many origami doves flying through projector light. Nice beginning.

Nuit Blanche



My greatest Toronto art experience happened while participating at Nuit Blanche. This is sunset to sunrise a
 free all-night contemporary art event throughout Toronto.

My starting point was Bata Shoe Museum at Bloor Street West. Stuff already happened outside. Next post will reveal the inside.
