Nocturne: Art at Night Backgrounder – Qu’est-ce que Nocturne?

Nocturne: Art at Night Society (Nocturne) is a registered volunteer-run not-for-profit organization committed to bringing art and energy to the streets of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). Founded in 2008, Nocturne has quickly become a highlight of HRM’s and Nova Scotia’s fall cultural season, engaging artists, performers, cultural supporters, students, and families by enabling greater exposure to visual arts throughout the city on both sides of the Harbour. Nocturne: Art at Night is based on the Nuit Blanche Festival, which operates in many cities all over the world. Nocturne: Art at Night is a fall festival that brings art and energy to the streets of Halifax between 6 p.m.-midnight. The completely free annual event showcases and celebrates the visual arts scene in Halifax. The purpose of the event is to bring the community together to experience and celebrate local artists in the streets, galleries, and public institutions. This forum gives artists the opportunity to showcase their talent and connect with other artists, business people and the community at large. The event occurs annually and participating artists receive remuneration for the creation and installation of their work. We work on building partnerships with the city and area businesses and government organizations to bring the city access to art and wonder with no barriers. Over the past six years, the event has grown substantially in areas such as programming, artist involvement, attendance and sponsorship. Every year the city of Halifax partners with Nocturne and that year’s curator to bring art and artists to create fixed points for the evening. These projects echo the year's theme and create gathering spots to which to explore the festival from. Since 2013, the festival kicks-off with an opening night in order to provide more opportunities to engage with artists and to celebrate the artistic community. Nocturne : Art at Night est un organisme à but non lucratif canadien dirigé par un conseil d’administration bénévole qui a pour mission de favoriser l’art contemporain. Pendant Nocturne, l’art s’empare en toute liberté de la Municipalité Régionale de Halifax et transforme la ville le temps d’une nuit. Cette célébration de l’art contemporain réunit de 18h à minuit des dizaines d’artistes et milliers de visiteurs. Nocturne : Art at night a été fondée sur le modèle du festival Nuit Blanche. Nocturne : Art at Night est un festival d’automne gratuit qui permet aux artistes et à la communauté de se rencontrer. Depuis plus de six ans, le festival a grandi au niveau de sa programmation mais aussi de sa gouvernance. Chaque année avec le soutien de différents commerces et organismes du gouvernement, Nocturne met en place un festival qui permet à la communauté de redécouvrir la ville sous un angle nouveau. Un partenariat avec la municipalité de Halifax permet d’embaucher un commissaire d’exposition et ainsi d’avoir un thème, fil conducteur, dans tous les projets présentés.

Motive: The Curatorial Vision of Michael McCormack Présentation du thème par le commissaire de l’édition 2016 Michael has an extensive history curating, and is most well known for his years as director of Eyelevel Gallery (Halifax, NS). He left Eyelevel to pursue his Masters of Fine Arts and has since been showing his work throughout Canada. He recently got home from two residencies: one in New Brunswick and one at the Klondike Institute of the Arts in the Yukon and he was the artist in residence at Centre For Art Tapes in 2016. "Motive is invisible, comes from the gut, and is continuously morphing while inspiring further movement of ideas and gestures. It is something that gains traction when shared with others and gains impact and resilience through inclusiveness and flexibility. It thrives when faced with conflict, morphs again when allowing questions, and strengthens further through conversation, mentorship, collaboration, and then consideration." Michael a été directeur de la galerie Eyelevel (Halifax, NÉ) pendant de nombreuses années avant de reprendre ses études d'art. Depuis, il a exposé ses œuvres à travers le Canada et a obtenu deux résidences d'artiste (au Nouveau-Brunswick et dans le Yukon au Klondike Institute of the Arts). Il est de retour dans la province et a été artiste en résidence au Centre For Art Tapes. "Motive, c'est invisible et cela vient des tripes. Ça se transforme en permanence en engendrant du mouvement, des idées. Quand partagé avec les autres, cela gagne de la force et de la flexibilité. Face aux conflits, on change à nouveau pour amener des questions, une réflexion, une collaboration et finalement une reconnaissance. - Michael McCormack, Commissaire Nocturne 2016

Anchor Project Artists – Les projets Anchor Amanda Dawn Christie Requiem for Radio: New Dead Zones Salter Block, Halifax Waterfront Requiem for Radio: New Dead Zones, is an interactive installation enabling the public to play the ghosts of radio towers with radio waves. Architecture, technology, history, and the human body come together in this near-supernatural conjuring of the spirits of the Radio Canada International (RCI) shortwave towers. The production of this work is made possible with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and Arts NB.

Jackson 2bears with Janet Rogers and Ronnie Dean Harris For the Land: Nocturne Halifax Law Courts For the Land: Nocturne is a continuation of a series that is

inspired by Sioux philosopher Vine Deloria Jr.—in particular, his 1998 book from which the title of this project is borrowed. The series considers Deloria’s argument about an incommensurability between Western theology and Indigenous spirituality in that the first is rooted in a temporal logic, and latter in a ‘spatial’ philosophy. This project was supported in collaboration with the Centre For Art Tapes. Jackson 2bears, Janet Rogers et Ronnie Dean Harris présentent un projet autour de l’œuvre du philosophe Sioux Vine Deloria Jr, plus particulièrement son livre For this Land et de l'argument de Deloria au sujet d'une incommensurabilité entre la théologie occidentale et la spiritualité autochtone en ce que la première est ancrée dans une logique temporelle, et la seconde dans une philosophie «spatiale».

Mitchell Wiebe, Roger Mullin and Ray Fenwick Quantum Pantomime The collaborative team will work with the Dalhousie School of Architecture to create an interactive performance using the entrance and front lawn of the former Spring Garden Memorial Library in Halifax. The artists will construct an interactive

environment and series of performances that considers the site and it’s existing relationship with the public as it remains a place of cultural and geographical convergence, transition, urban life, and public and institutional memory. En collaboration avec l'École d'architecture de l'Université Dalhousie, Mitchell Wiebe, Roger Mullin et Ray Fenwick vont créer une performance devant l'ancienne bibliothèque du centre-ville de Halifax et construire un environnement interactif qui tiendra compte du site et de sa relation avec le public comme il demeure un lieu de convergence culturelle et géographique, et un lieu de mémoire.

David Clark Barometer Falling Halifax Central Library "Barometer Falling" is an indoor video installation that consists of a ten-foot geodesic dome on the 5th floor of the Halifax Central Library. The dome will play a soundtrack

consisting of a voiceover and musical score reflecting passages from Hugh MacLennan’s 1941 novel “Barometer Rising”. This project was made possible with the support of Halifax Public Libraries. This research was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. David Clark (Halifax) artiste reconnu pour ses œuvres "88 Constellations for Wittgenstein" et "A is for Apple" présente son nouveau projet "Barometer Falling" pour Nocturne 2016.

Pavitra Wickramasinghe KENO/KINO & Last syllable of time Halifax Waterfront – Marriot Hotel Dartmouth - Ferry Terminal Park

Born in Sri Lanka and she now lives in Montréal, her practice are inherently multidisciplinary incorporating drawing,

animation, installation, sculpture and video. For the past few years, Pavitra Wickramasinghe has been gathering footage of boats that are left immobile: they are sites of potential voyage made static; to see one that is capsized, on land or frozen in place is a strange and unsettling site. She will present two projects on Oct 15: KENO/KINO and Last syllable of time - to explore notions of traveling, memory and what it means to be here. These projects are supported in partnership with Eyelevel Gallery.

KENO/KINO was made possible by Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Canada Council for the Arts and Klondike Institute of Art and Culture, Dawson City, Yukon.

Last syllable of time was made possible by La Fondation De La Famille Claudine Et Stephen Bronfman; UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists and Changdong Art Studio, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea. Nocturne vous présentera deux projets de l'artiste montréalaise. Deux œuvres vidéo qui intrigueront le public tout en les émerveillant entre le jeu et l'expérience afin d’explorer les notions de voyage et de mémoire.

Rachael Shannon with Paige Gratland Breastival Vestibule Khyber Centre for the Arts Halifax Central Library

Breastival Vestibule is living, breathing architecture endeavouring to engage the senses. Visitors entering the space are met with the soft, organic forms of its responsive, inflated walls. Gazing through the

structure’s center oculus, the night sky is reframed. Breastival Vestibule shifts the ground rules for interaction with our surroundings, offering a soft landing amongst city lights and hard concrete edges. The project and workshops are supported in collaboration with the Khyber Centre for the Arts.

Breastival Vestibule, un projet de l'artiste de Baltimore, Rachael Shannon, offre aux visiteurs un lieu de vie aux contours doux qui s'opposent au béton qui nous entoure. Breastival Vestibule change les règles d'interaction avec notre environnement

Ursula Johnson IKATK:Ee-got-tk (She Protects) Art Gallery of Nova Scotia

Throughout time music has been used by cultures as an expression of emotion. It has also been used as a tool to express political stances. On October 15th, for 1hr in Halifax at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Ursula Johnson will join the many artists, individuals, communities and nations in expressing her political stance of

resistance by engaging in a durational vocal performance of a song that was shared with her by a strong woman elder from her Mi’kmaw community. This elder that has taken part in many political movements towards Indigenous Sovereignty and has taught her throughout the years of knowing her, along with the other women in her family, to honour and respect her role in society as a Mi’kmaw Woman. A Mi’kmaw Woman who has the voice to create dialogue, which can result in change. She appreciates her and her family for this gift. Depuis la nuit des temps, la musique a été utilisée dans de nombreuses cultures comme un moyen d’exprimer ses émotions mais aussi son point de vue politique. Pendant une heure, au Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Nouvelle-Écosse, Ursula Johnson va exprimer son opinion politique en chantant un chant que lui a appris une ainée respectée de sa communauté Mi’kmaw. Cette femme, qui a pris part à de nombreux mouvements pour la souveraineté des autochtones lui a aussi appris à honorer et respecter son rôle dans la société en temps que Femme Mi’kmaw.
