Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2008: Vehicle

October 4 2008 6:52pm to sunrise

University of Toronto Art Centre

Vehicle is a multi-car, multi-artist exploration of the aesthetic possibilities of the car as a site of community contact. Inside and outside of UTAC viewers will discover interactive parking art, car art galleries, trampoline-activated Second Life bodies, custom-built Xbox games, and architectural intervention. The car setting encourages experimentation and welcomes unlikely participants and unanticipated mergings. Artists Yasunori Aoki, Barbara Balfour, David Court, Sunny Kerr, Yam Lau, Esther Lee, Andrew McAllister, Emily Mclennan, Stephanie Shepherd, Scott Sorli, Josh Thorpe, Flavio Trevisan, Alyssa Tsang, and Tania Ursomarzo join with The Toronto Subaru Club, WayUpWayDown and UTAC to explore the car as an exhibition venue that forges new communities of creative practice.
