NOCTURNES 10TH ANNIVERSARY

A NOTE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THIS YEARS THEME: VANISH

W A
hat a difference 10 years makes, amiright!?
On behalf of the Nocturne: art at night Board of Di-
rectors, and all the organizing committees, we are
excited to welcome you to the 10th edition of Nocturne!
I would like to begin by thanking our 2017 curators,
Anna Sprague and Emily Lawrence, who offered up
the provocative theme of VANISH for Nocturnes
10th year and who masterminded the Halifax Public
Gardens anchor site. I hope you will spend some time
there, but also experience all the other amazing proj-
ects that are hosted on both sides of our harbour!
An overwhelming thank you to all the artists, com-
munity groups, and galleries who have put long hours of
planning and dedication into their projects.You should all feel
very proud!
I would also like to thank our hard working night-of volunteerswho
will be on the streets to help guide your way.A wholehearted thank
you also goes to our board members who work year-round to make
this event a success. Thank you to our partners, sponsors, and
funders, whose support is of undeniable value to the festival.
Nocturne 2017 has existed in our imaginations for the past 364
days and now it is yours to experience and take in. This years theme
aims at nudging you a bit forward into the realm of disbelief, was it
there? Or was it a dream?
s a curatorial premise, the termVANISH
alludes to both the ephemeral nature of
theNocturneexperience and the shifting
focus that occurs as new or forgotten memo-
ries are transposed over prevalent narratives
and pasts.VANISH is not erasure or removal,
but an act of distancing or blurring.VANISH
is slow magic a camera lens slowly adjust-
ing its focus.
In 2017, as we usher in a year punctuated
with celebrations of significant moments in
Canadian history, it is important to take time
to reflect on the complex nature of cultural
remembrance.As a means to creatively dis-
rupt the dominant narratives that have come
LINDSAY ANN CORY to define the citys complex history,VANISH
Executive Director seeks to re-envision familiar public spaces
@lindsayanncory throughout Halifax and Dartmouth as phan-
tasmagoric alternative realities.
Our poster, designed again by Pierre Tab-
biner, is indicative of that foggy feeling one
gets as a lens turns, and the subject comes
to focus. As the night vanishes, Nocturne
does too.

Anna Sprague Emily Lawrence

Curator
Anna sprague is a performance artist, creative facilitator, and faculty
member at NSCAD University. In tandem with a provocative use of
sculptural materials, bizarre props, and outlandish costumes, her art
practice explores collaborative performance, public intervention, and
site-specific installation as a means of critically engaging with site and
history. anna holds degrees in English Literature (Mount Allison Uni-
versity, Sackville, NB) and Fine Arts (Concordia University, Montreal,
QC) and has a love for lowercase letters and underwhelming coinci-
dences.
Curator
Emily is an artist, facilitator, and community organizer. She has cu-
rated and coordinated several projects on behalf of arts organizations,
including Eyelevel Gallery and the PEI Crafts Council. She is currently
a member of Eyelevel Gallerys Engagement Committee, and was a se-
lected artist for the 2017/2018 NSCAD Community Studio Residency
at the MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning in Dartmouth, NS. Her
experiential approach to creating immersive environments, sculpture,
and production design hinges on humour, food, and the senses as
conduits to the underlying feminist and cultural curiosities that fuels
her work.
