lighbulbs upperlanding
I was wondering what was up with the wires and poles that have been in the Upper Landing Park for a the last couple of weeks. When I was walking my dog the other night they were hanging light bulbs on the wires. The lights are part of Northern Spark Nuit Blanche (White night festival) an art event that begins at dusk today June 4th and goes until dawn tomorrow June 5th.
“Northern Spark will include a diversity of art forms and projects including multi-story projections, audio environments with vistas, floating works on barges, houseboats and paddleboats, headphone concerts, and the use of everything from bioluminescent algae and sewer pipes for organs to more traditional media such as banjos and puppets.”
This will involve more than 200 artists and it is along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Things that we see every day look different at night. I have to admit one of my favorite activities is to go out at night and photograph the ordinary. See you tonight.
Sounds like a really neat night to be out and about.
