Zone C Curated Exhibition

Curatorial Statement

Supernatural City

Scotiabank Nuit Blanche enters into the time for sleep, the realm of dreams. It pushes past usual bedtimes, engaging imaginations and exploring relationships with the city and fellow city dwellers during the course of one highly anticipated insomniac night.

Supernatural City invites us to cross thresholds, to explore the unseen, the unknown and to welcome that which is revealed to us in dreams, in altered states and in the exceptional moments that constitute an ordinary day.

Tonight the gigantic wheels of our imaginative lives grow and force upon each other a simultaneous beckoning to a dimension that is strikingly informed by inner knowledge and the confidence in an ability to fertilize adventures of self discovery, inquiries into our known world, a chronicle of fantastic events.
