Leitmotif | Scotiabank Nuit Blanche

10 enigmatic rental trucks will appear in the neighborhood - each one transformed by a LEITMOTIF artist. The trucks will become sculptural objects interpreted as performance stages and installation platforms or completely transformed by audio and video experiences. LEITMOTIF - SITE Non Specific

As temporary exhibition spaces, the trucks will be "parked" for the night. The trucks which are actuall

y transitory objects will embody the repetitive nature of Nuit Blanche - each becoming a site of visual, spatial and visceral expansion. Multiple boundaries of the unconscious will be traversed to reveal new gestures of the imagination as the ultimate experience of viewer déjà vu. LEITMOTIF guides the artists and communities with interactive works of site-specific engagements in Parkdale Village from dusk to dawn. In addition, 5 site-specific projects will be revealed during the Nuit Blanche event. Each of these projects will be the result of integrated community collaboration, constructed through investigations via workshops, community participation and online hijinks over the 6 months leading up until the event. These socially engaged projects will become embedded into the fabric of the neighborhood and remain after the Nuit Blanche experience.
