Nocturne: Art at Night Backgrounder
Nocturne: Art at Night Society (Nocturne) is a registered non-profit 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. During one Saturday night in mid-October from 6:00 pm to midnight, HRM residents and visitors engage in a free creative experience that transports them to ‘hubs’ of activity throughout Halifax and Dartmouth that are showcasing and celebrating everything that the arts scene in Halifax has to offer. Artists and performers are provided with the time and space to showcase their talents through a range of programming opportunities. Artists can explore new original concepts, collaborate with creative professionals and transform unexpected spaces. Event organizers strive to create a community organization of like-minded, capable and committed arts advocates who are dedicated to bringing artistic excellence, highlighting local artists, performers, and exhibition spaces, and offering unique exhibition experiences to the public. 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 is based on the Nuit Blanche Festival, which operates in many cities all over the world. 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. The event relies on community sponsorship from various businesses within the city, and derives a majority of its support from all three levels of government. Over the past six years, the event has grown substantially in areas such as programming, artist involvement, attendance and sponsorship.
* * * Our Mandate : The Nocturne Committee lends voice and agency to the Halifax arts community by facilitating collaborations and exhibition opportunities in the form of a free, nighttime contemporary arts event. The objective of the committee is to execute an annual event that highlights the existing arts community in the Halifax area that serves both the residents of the Halifax Regional Municipality and tourists. The committee acts as facilitator for galleries, artists and volunteers to provide an yearly arts event in both private and public spaces. By creating an accessible yet professional arts event for the community, the Nocturne committee aims for integrity and inclusiveness in all facets of event planning Our Vision: The Nocturne: Art at Night Society facilitates exhibition opportunities based on a high standard of curatorial integrity and collaboration. Nocturne enriches and enlivens communities through the creation and exhibition of thoughtful, well executed contemporary artworks. Nocturne engages in municipal, regional, national and international contemporary arts discourse by providing professional opportunities to artists. Nocturne operates in a fiscally sustainable and responsible manner to grow in quality and impact.

Found and Lost and Found:
The Curatorial Vision of Rose Zack
A city is made up and defined by people, places, and spaces, an ever changing and shifting entity; we shape our buildings and public spaces in small and significant ways, then they shape us, then we them again – ad infinitum. These places and spaces are shaped and re-shaped by changing social, political and cultural currents, real estate boom and bust, extreme weather and even disaster. Buildings are occupied and vacant, re-imagined, reconsidered, renovated and sometimes meet the wrecking ball, only to begin the process again and again. Shadows of these
changes are etched on our collective and individual memories and sometimes the buildings and spaces themselves. This year, as part Nocturne, curator Rose Zack asks artists to explore history, memory, consciousness, and the changes wrought by time in Halifax’ unique cultural, historical and social spaces. We consider what takes place in the moments between past and present, the familiar and the unknown, and the potential for subversion and change as part of this year’s curatorial theme: Found and Lost and Found.
“It is a great pleasure to be a part of Nocturne this year in the capacity of curator. Nocturne reflects
the vitality and creativity within our community, offering a night like no other each October, since
2008 in Halifax. I am excited and honoured to work once again with the Nocturne committee, the city
of Halifax and anchor artists to present Lost and Found and Lost and look forward to seeing the streets
of Halifax transformed, with art and people on Saturday, October 17, 2015.
Anchor Project Artists
Anna Sprague Ferris Wheel Main Entrance, Halifax Citadel National Historic Site Enticed by the strange soundscape of backwards carnival music, viewers are lead from Brunswick Street to the top of the Halifax Citadel where they will encounter a 68’ Ferris wheel running slowly in reverse. Ferris Wheel challenges the military associations to the site by inscribing a new and playful counter
narrative that mirrors the Citadel’s current function as a place of re-enactment and entertainment. While experiencing the unprecedented panoramic views of the Halifax harbour — including McNab’s Island and the former home of Bill Lynch, the owner of Canada’s largest traveling Carnival —viewers are prompted to consider the distinction between spectacle and spectator.
Jeremy Tsang Beacon in the Dark A temporary informal lighthouse structure that borrows from the language of urban developments and city planning. This installation seeks to explore the ideas of forgotten spaces and unused places, preservation verses revitalization/gentrification and the intrinsic journeys of buildings from their construction to their eventual destruction.
Lindsay Dobbin Drum Voices Highest Point, Dartmouth Commons Drum Voices is a sound piece that transports the drum to a place before time. By recording a single strike of a deer-hide frame drum and then using simple audio processing techniques, artist Lindsay Dobbin journeyed to the heart of a drum to find a hidden choir that speaks to our origins. Both
terrestrial and alien sounding, the voices have been arranged to unfold as a mantra – an eternal song of slow and rhythmic chanting – creating an evocative environment for deep listening. For Nocturne, the sound piece will be situated within the drum-shaped structure of a yurt – reflecting the drum visually and sonically, and also engaging in dialogue with the landscape. Drum Voices is presented in partnership with the Centre for Art Tapes
Sharon Stevens Digital Shrine Camp Hill Cemetery Gates, Summer Street Sharon Stevens' Digital Shrine invites participants to write messages of tribute to the departed, words they wish they would have said, heartfelt thoughts they carry with them, or simply the names of the dead. Converted to digital texts and projected against a screen, these messages to the dead serve
also to light the night and inspire the living. This ritual of sharing words of memoriam together as a community at the Camp Hill Cemetery acts to amplify the presence of the dead in our thoughts and hearts. Digital Shrine is presented in partnership with the Centre for Art Tapes
