We will be set up from 11:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., across the street from 28 Essex Street, formerly an auto garage, in that little triangle parkette that is also across from the Guelph Market.
Mary Mattingly will be at the set up during Nuit Blanche, and we are looking forward to seeing her again.
The schedule for Nuit Blanche is intense, and I have two other projects earlier in the evening, but I want to highlight a few performances by friends that are worth seeing.
First, right across the street from us Ben Grossman is setting up an improvisational sound sculpture, Rainforest, in 28 Essex Street, with found sculpture contributions, including two by friends Billy Rubin and Paddy O'Lantern. I hope the sounds from RainForest will flow over to Chrysalis.
Fall on Your Feet dance collective is also performing at 28 Essex Street at 11:30 p.m. so after seeing them, come visit us.
And, even more things are happening at 28 Essex Street, the future home of the Guelph Arts Works, with art by members hanging in part of the space. This is a very cool, raw space that will be converted to studios, gallery and teaching space later this year. Come out to see it before the transformation.
My son's former teacher Christina Kingsbury has an installation under the Heffernan Foot Bridge, take a look if you are over near the River Run Centre.
My favourite group of artists, my colleagues at the Whitestone Gallery Collective, are planning another amazing evening of activities from 6 - 11 p.m. at the gallery at 80 Norfolk.
Last year's near nudity, painted bodies, spoken word and complimentary Planet Bean coffee made for a memorable evening. Check out the video artist John Fleming made about that night.
I will have two projects there, at 10 p.m. Tag You're it , and, ongoing from 6 - 11 p.m., I wish this was which is also going to be at 10 Carden all night.
See you there!
