We stayed up pretty late on Saturday night to explore Nuit Blanche, where the city of Toronto magically transforms into a surreal, all-night, outdoor art exhibition. Several major streets were shut down for the event, making room for scores of people to wander between artworks. Balloons, patchwork quilts, bicycles, plastic bags, socks and chairs were just some of the materials used in the sculptural pieces, which repeatedly brought to mind questions such as "what does it mean?" and "is it art?" We finished the night in the traditional Canadian way by devouring a box of take-away poutine at 2:30am.
