This was the first time we attended Nuit Blanche(translation: Sleepless Night), a sundown to sunrise celebration of art. We started off our night at Toronto's Old City Hall, where there was this giant map of the location of the different art installations all over Toronto. There were so many installations that they divided it into three zones , Zone A being Torontos City Hall where we spent most of the night. At Nathan Philip Square, a choir was singing amidst a crowd that didnt know where to go.It seems everyone was there just to make an excuse for being out in the cold autumn night.

We then headed down to the City Hall Basement Parking lot where Mayor Ford and all city employees would normally park their cars daily.

It was transformed into a Museum For the End of the World

This is the first time I attended an art show or exhibit where I had to ask myself is this art or just boredom? First of all there were three live art shows where people where either

bored, sleeping or dead. There were also art installations that I didn't know what to make of..... pieces of meat on the cement heap of candies in a corner and there were these different drums field with different hologram art subjects

The only saving grace was this centipede like illuminated art and this mosaic of tiles in the street But despite that everyone was having a real good time just queueing up and walking around. Its not really the art,people just want to walk around a good excuse to walk and get together since majority of the main streets of Toronto were closed just to allow the crowds to gather.
