Zone C
Locust, 2005
Noboru Tsubaki and Hishashi Muroi - Hyogo, Japan
Installation
Noboru Tsubaki's lone, gargantuan Locust descends upon Lamport Stadium. Separated from its migratory swarm, its status as a remnant or threat of airborne plagues to come is unclear. Is this cute, colourful, cartoon-like insect a real threat or a personal omen? What is our crime and what is our defense? Do we take comfort in Liliputian safety? For how long will these ropes hold? For how long can we keep our fears at bay?
Femmebomb, 2004 - Janet Morton
Installation
In this adaptation of Femmebomb, a wellworn, often overlooked concrete edifice is consumed by a giant shock of pink, a textured flora. Here, with magic realism, the domestic arts amplify and reveal the darker workings of an interior. Passers-by are invited to touch a site destined for and concerned with the care of those individuals at risk in the community.
Fluorescent Dome - Michael Bartosik
Situated on the edge of Trinity Bellwoods Park, a luminous fluorescent dome serves as a beacon for the city. Universal in form and origin, it resonates in a dynamic equilibrium; unifying cultural difference through a non-hierarchical structure.
Bloor Nightlight - Dyan Marie Projects
Group exhibition
Artist Dyan Marie, with more than 30 contributing artists, takes back the night with 10 transformative light art projects.
Streetlight Sculptures
Curated with and work by Orest Tataryn and others. Overhead sculptures are exhibited fixed to city streetlight poles creating a street-long exhibition of contemporary light art.
Light House
A projection house made of ice created by Joe Fleming, with his videos glowing through the walls.
Body Light
Fashion, performance, projections, videos and installations transform the House Of Lancaster Strip Club and surrounding area at 1215 Bloor St. W.
Clouds of Doubt
Objects and lights sources wrapped into place along the street create lingering clouds by JP King and Stephen Marie-Rhodes.
Bloor Bike Light
A bike parade, tricked out in light for the night. Curated and bike by Bruce Ward with Mark Greenhough, Herb VandenDool and others.
Store Sculptures

Plus, miniature light sculptures, wearable light jewellery, apartment window installations, light hand sculptures and roaming green "vine people".
The Late Great Pom-Pom Exchange - Knit Café

Paul Petro Multiples & Small Works - Home-made Home-grown
Miles Collyer
A series of hand-stitched flags and wall tapestries that reproduce emblems used by the politically unofficial. A one-night performance will also occur in the space on the occasion of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche.
XPACE Cultural Gallery - Wall + Paper
Curated by Matthew Nye
XPACE presents a group of emerging artists and designers, who will be installing wallworks throughout the night. Each piece considers the conceptual and stylistic possibilities of wallpaper.
