As we were out at a show anyway, we took the opportunity to
stop in at a few Nuit Blanche installations on our way home.
We waited in line
for about 20 min in front of the Gardener Museum to see the Silent Knight”, a
sculpture of an owl made of 50,000 lego pieces by Ekow Nimako. Definitely worth
the wait. This installation will be up until the end of the week so you should
stop by.
Inside the Gardener was “The Bone Runners”, a ceramic installation by
Nurielle Stern, which was both fascinating and fun. Attendees were encouraged to
choose an axe head or spear tip from the many copies strewn along the floor in
a pattern that seemed to guide you around the central sculpture. The latter was
interesting as it encouraged people to pick them up, study them and really
appreciate them.
I was forewarned that Nuit Blanche involved vague directions
and lots of line-ups. Agree on the direction part, but this line-up wasn’t too
bad – I imagine it is all about the your timing.
