How does the twelve-hour duration of Nuit Blanche influence the artistic process, and what is the nature of an event that is impermanent and ephemeral? Featuring local, national and international artists and gallerists, this panel will address urban space, public art and site-specificity.

Moderated by Toronto Star urban issues reporter Christopher Hume.

Panellists include:

Sara Graham: As a Toronto-based artist Sara Graham’s practice centres on explorations of geographic fictions that blur the disciplines of art, architecture, urban design and geography.

Millie Chen: An active member of a number of artist-run organizations, Millie Chen’s practice encompasses collaborative interdisciplinary projects that engage the public and public space.

Adad Hannah: Based in Montreal, Adad Hannah works in video and photography.
Dyan Marie: Artist and gallerist Dyan Marie explores urban issues, ideas and reflections on contemporary cultural experience. Dyan Marie Projects focuses her curatorial and artistic practices on the Lansdowne and Dupont neighbourhood where she lives.

Craig Walsh: Based in Brisbane, Australia, Craig Walsh is primarily interested in hybrid / site-specific projects and the exploration of alternative contexts for contemporary art, often utilizing projection in response to existing environments and contexts.
